Bracketology 1.1 - before the conference tournaments. Don't be upset

Re: Bracketology 1.1 - before the conference tournaments. Don't be upset

Did anybody notice that the host said the Frozen Four will be played at the highest remaining seed, with no qualifications? Not sure if the producers of the video are uninformed or if that's significant. I am guessing it is the former, because there are ALWAYS qualifications (e.g. submitting a bit, being able to host, etc).

The production of these live shows are usually very ignorant of what they are producing. Just look at some of the pronunciations over the years. So, I take NOTHING of what they say seriously.

You mean Geneseo IS NOT pronounced "JIN-EZ-EE-YOO" like it was in 2016???

SNC and UWSP got screwed.

Even though one of them will get to host the FF?? whoever survives will be playing the FF in their home barn. Seems to me to be a huge advantage (for the survivor)

Just curious...why?

Definitely a tough draw but impossible for the NCAA to tailor the tournament this year to make it possible for both SNC and UWSP go to the Frozen Four...especially sticking with the travel restrictions they have strictly held to in years past. Looking at the tourney the last few years I don't really think there is much of an argument. The travel restrictions suck and definitely put a big obstacle in getting the best teams to the Frozen Four all together.

You should see how they butcher the D3 football names...

Taking it forward, the winner of the UWSP bracket plays winner of the Norwich bracket, and winner of Oswego bracket plays winner of the Geneseo bracket? Assuming all 4 seeded teams win the Oswego-Geneseo game should be the best of the year.

Can somebody explain if the NCAA is following PWR and USCHO's PWR is right, how did UNE, which is ranked higher than Manhattanville, get sent to Trinity, which is ranked higher than UMB.

Should I just book a general flight to Wisconsin, bring a parachute, and jump out over the city that wins on March 16?

Not according to d3hockey's bracket.

That's confirmed with the NCAA bracket. So, we could get an all SUNYAC final.

The committee went off the guidelines 2x then. One with the QF matchups and then the SF pairings.

Though, I've seen initial brackets, even from the NCAA, be incorrect.
