    Fairbanks, AK 10
    Bowling Green, OH 19
    Big Rapids, MI 21
    Anchorage, AK 30
    Huntsville, AL 50

    For an average temperature this hour of 14.9 degrees Fahrenheit. Anchorage and Huntsville are really dragging us up.

    That is all...resume mud slinging.
    You know that the conversation has gone way off the deep end when the weather is considered elevating the discourse.

          I prefer to stray from mores. It's much more fun!

              Go East sounds good to me. They need to fill the schedule.

                You will see some series with Eastern teams, although it will be fairly limited. Flights aren't cheap for either team.

                  Hockey East teams like Notre Dame would be great since the Big and NCHC teams don't want to play the Irish in NC.

                      We knew that Mel has magic, but somehow Tech finishes in both 4th and 6th places! Tech hockey: We take yer spots.

Second, I don't care so much about the unbalanced schedule as long as the race is interesting, and I have to say this is the most interesting race in a long time. Third, it would be good if we could collectively figure out how to reduce travel costs.in.
                        Good points here.

                          Next season scheduling should be easier.

                            Maybe it will change in the future with the conference change, but MSU has had an east coast team trade 1 for 1 for at least the last 6 years. Yale, UCONN, Providence, RPI.

                              you might want to review your prognosis. You have Tech in there twice.
                              Who has the tie breaker between Alaska and Lssu. I have them tied for 8th at the end.
                              I had a couple of typos in the predictions table that I've fixed. The spreadsheet is definitely right.

                              As for tiebreakers, that's covered here: http://uahhockey.com/blog/2014/01/14/krach-schedule-1/

                              The tiebreakers are: a) head-to-head points, but only if you’ve played four contests against each other, b) higher number of conference wins, c) comparison of winning percentages against all teams above them, team-by-team down through the table.
                              For my comparisons, I've sorted descending order on points first and then wins second. I'll handle tiebreakers closer in. It probably won't be for next week, because I've got exams next week and probably shouldn't blow three or four hours on best-finish/worst-finish and tiebreakers when I should be playing industrial engineering graduate student.

                                Maybe I'm an idiot (OK, I am an idiot), but why do you have Ferris with a zero loss season when they've already got 3 losses? Seems to me that it would be improbable for them to finish 14 points ahead of MSU when they are only 2 points ahead with 8/10 games to go.
