Bracketology: Taking an early look at how the 2020 NCAA tournament could potentially shake out
It’s time once again to do what we like to call Bracketology, college hockey style. It's our weekly look at how we believe the NCAA tournament might look like come selection time, using what we know now (photo: Jim Rosvold).
Bracketology: Taking a look at how the NCAA tournament would be seeded if ’19-20 season ended today
For years, you have read as Jayson Moy has provided you with breakdowns on the PairWise Rankings and how, from week-to-week, that might impact how the NCAA tournament is seeded. His bracketology has become famous, often duplicated, though rarely ever matched. Jayson and Jim Connelly have decided that this season, we’re taking it to a new level (photo: Rich Gagnon).

Bracketology: Figuring out problems on how to best seed the 2020 NCAA hockey national tournament
We’re down to five and a half weeks until selection Sunday, and as things begin to shape up in terms of what teams are getting closer to punching their NCAA tickets, we are also running into some problems on how to best seed the tournament (photo: Jim Rosvold/University of Minnesota).
Bracketology: Which bubble teams have a shot at playing for an NCAA hockey national championship?
The topsy-turvy world of college hockey is seeing the bubble change rapidly from week to week. There are so many games and results that are affecting what is happening at the moment (photo: Craig Houtz/Penn State Athletics).

Bracketology: Taking a look at how a different season across college hockey will impact the NCAA tournament
It certainly is a strange year in college hockey and thus this year’s Bracketology column regarding the selection and seeding of the men’s NCAA Division I ice hockey tournament will be a little bit different than in the past.
Bracketology: With more games played, what teams are in, out of the upcoming NCAA men’s hockey tournament?

Let’s see how these two approach this week:
Bracketology: What teams are in the NCAA tournament, what teams are not with men’s college hockey playoffs starting
We promised it last week, that in this week’s Bracketology, Jayson and I would try to find some sort of agreement on a field, just like being on the NCAA committee.
