I'm only looking at the teams I think are still realistically, in theory, in the hunt, with apologies to CC, BSU, MTU, & AA. I also did not factor Wisconsin's home non-conference series with PSU into this anywhere, either. They are the only non-conference games anybody has left of the teams that are "in the hunt".
Remaining schedules:
St. Cloud: 4 home, 8 away Remaining opponent's composite record: 61-56-24
Wisconsin: 7 home, 4 away, 1 neutral Remaining opponent's composite record: 65-55-20
North Dakota: 6 home, 6 away Remaining opponent's composite record: 69-55-19
Minnesota State: 5 home, 5 away Remaining opponent's composite record: 57-47-17
Minnesota: 5 home, 6 away, 1 neutral Remaining opponent's composite record: 66-57-20
Denver: 5 home, 5 away Remaining opponent's composite record: 53-49-18
UNO: 6 home, 6 away Remaining opponent's composite record: 47-64-26
North Dakota faces the toughest remaining schedule.
UNO faces the easiest remaining schedule.
Few observations about each team:
1. St. Cloud has series left with 3 teams on the list, two at home and one on the road.
2. Wisconsin has series left with 4 teams on the list, 1 fully at home, and 2 fully on the road, and, a split at home and on neutral ice with the Gophers.
3. North Dakota has series left with 5 teams on the list, two at home and three on the road.
4. Minnesota State has series left with 2 teams on the list, 1 1/2 at home and 1/2 on the road as they home and away with the Gophers in that series.
5. Minnesota has series left with 4 teams on the list, one fully at home and one fully on the road, a home and away in another, and away and on neutral ice with the last one.
6. Denver has series left with 2 teams on the list, one at home and one on the road.
7. UNO has series left with 2 teams on the list, both of which are at home.
Now, I'll be honest and say that the reason I started this thread is to point out the relatively "easy" (ha!) path UNO has to the MacNaughton. And, UNO's home series against teams in the running are against North Dakota and against Wisconsin, probably, the "team least likely to" in the remaining league race scenario. That said, I have my worries, anyway. UNO is very beat up, is missing some key players, and I don't trust John Faulkner any farther than I can throw him.
I hope I got all my numbers right.
I'll let everybody draw their own conclusions.
