Updating from last week, various people on the NCAA Tournament Committee have further clarified/walked back the idea of using the Pairwise this year to specify that they meant they’ll use it within each conference to determine the rankings of that conference. Which is terrific, but not entirely helpful since, with an exception or two, that’s already pretty easy to do. The real difficulty in this process is going to be de...

Insight into NCAA for selecting the men’s hockey tournament. Basically, the PairWise will be used but there will be a lot of flexibility and subjectivity used.

We’re down to the final week of the regular season in women’s college before we head into conference tournaments, and as far as anyone seems to know, we’re still just winging it in terms of a picking a field.
The good news is that even with the limited data points we have this season, things continue to get slightly more clear each weekend as teams start to play themselves out of getting the benefit of the doubt.

We’re now down to just 50 days until the field is supposed to be selected for the 2021 men’s ice hockey tournament.
