With the weekend’s games now (finally) in the books, USCHO.com’s PairWise Predictor<\/a> is live.<\/p>\n What’s the PairWise Predictor? It’s your opportunity to test out your choices for winners in next weekend’s six Division I conference tournaments to see how they affect the PairWise Rankings<\/a>.<\/p>\n We’ve updated the PairWise Predictor for 2014, both to reflect changes in the NCAA criteria<\/a> and to include the same detailed comparisons that our 2014 PairWise Rankings<\/a> provide.<\/p>\n You can test the entire range of results to find out which teams are in no matter what happens, which teams are definitely out, and which teams need a lot of help — or some crazy scenarios — to make it into the tournament.<\/p>\n Will Hockey East get five teams into the NCAA tournament? Is there a scenario that will get four ECAC Hockey or three NCHC teams in? Are Minnesota and Boston College No. 1 locks? Give some match-ups a shot and let us know in the comments area below what odd or unlikely results you find.<\/p>\n
