  • New Looked Pairwise ... old-school TUC's are BACK!!1!!

    College Hockey News reports that the NCAA selection committee has reverted to a previous standard with regard to calculating TUC's as it relates to the Pairwise rankings. They detail the changes here. And show the currentest Pairwise results here..

    There are now 34 Pairwise-eligible teams. Let the *****ing begin.

    Interesting development. Would be interesting to know why the change after 5 years of the previous version as well as why the change in January instead of the off-season.

        Whoa.

        edit - I really would love to see bonuses brought back into the picture to boost teams that take on a tough schedule out of conference and especially on the road.

Trivino has never been one of those players. Even outside of the rink, he'll say hi and is plenty of friendly, but has never been even close to saying or doing anything inappropriate.

          This is definitely the strangest part IMO.

            One thing this will certainly do is put the AHA teams in play for the record against TUCs a lot easier. While right now, only Robert Morris is above the line - but Niagara and RIT are on that cusp.

            Under the old system, it was possible that an AHA team would make an at-large by being at an RPI ranking around 14 or so. The record against TUCs would be invalid, and in most cases, head to head would be minimal. So it would come down to common opponents. Now it's likely that there will be at least 2 AHA teams as TUCs when everything is said and done.

            Personally, the TUC line was fine to me, as it should be the best half of the league at the very least, not 60+%.

              Yea 34 of 58 teams being TUCs sounds kind of ridiculous. Of course I know that is all subject to change but I liked top 25 capped off like that.

                As a an unofficial quasi-representative of the current #27 Pairwise team I just want to say to #26 thru #34 .. "See ya ..." It's been lovely for this short time to be in your presence at this end of the table but we'll be moving up shortly. Best of luck to each of you.

                  Is the Committe embarassed that the current #1 teams has to throw out so many wins because of the "cupcakedness" of its schedule? Is this an attempt to remove some of the "*"s from the rpi?

                    They did this midseason? How is that possible?

                      I would note that, currently, Yale would still lead the RPI even with the removed games included, although its lead over UND would shrink from 0.0241 to 0.0185.

                            TUCs are stupid anyways. They should've just gotten rid of it altogether and switched to KRACH.
