Non-UND PWR Possibilities

UND’s possible PWR outcomes are pretty predictable at this point, but that doesn’t mean there’s no excitement. Quite a few more teams than intuition might suggest are capable of falling out of the tournament field.

Here are the possible final PWR ranges for each team that’s still a possible TUC. There could be some extreme outlying possibility that I’m not catching, but these already show a lot more possible movement than I’ve seen speculated elsewhere…

Denver 1-3
Miami 1-3
UW 1-5
UND 3-6
SCSU 4-11
Boston College 3-9
UMD 5-19
Northern Michigan 6-19
Ferris State 5-18
CC 18-25
New Hampshire 10-18
UMN 20-25
Bemidji State 5-11
Alaska 10-18
Vermont 6-19
Michigan 10-25
Michigan State 12-21
Nebraska-Omaha 18-24
Cornell 5-19
Maine 11-25
Boston University 12-25
Mass.-Lowell 18-25
Ohio State 24-N/TUC
Yale 7-13
Northeastern 25-N/TUC
Massachusetts 16-20 or N/TUC
Union 11-N/TUC
St. Lawrence 23-N/TUC
RIT 20-N/TUC

If you want a probability distribution chart for one of these or having trouble working out the scenario, just let me know and I can help out.

  1. A request came in for a scenario that puts Michigan State at #12. Here’s one that puts them at #12 (actually tie for 11th but losing the RPI tie breaker). The bad news for Michigan State fans is that this scenario seems to be come up about 1 in 80,000 possible outcomes.

  4. Could you post the probability distribution for NMU? I was also wondering what program you are using to run your algorithms. (I’ve been trying to run mine in stata but have hit a wall) Thanks!

  5. Note that you have to use CHN’s YATC right now. As I explain here, USCHO’s Predictor is currently broken.

    It’s a custom program (in Java). I’d find it hard to do the pairwise comparisons in Stata, which I usually think of as primarily for panel data, but I’m also not great w/Stata.

  6. Thanks. I’ll have to try it in java for next year. Stata can run algorithms but it starts getting really picky and you have to make an insane amount of manual adjustment.

    Sioux yeah yeah
    and of course
    GO CATS!!!
