Pairwise Monday: Ohio State drops out of a tournament spot after Princeton sweep (#497)

Princeton swept Ohio State this weekend, which knocked the Buckeyes out of an NCAA Tournament spot (for now) and put the Tigers on the radar (top 30).

Our weekly look at the Pairwise leads off this issue. We’re tracking weekly movement until the NCAA Tournament field is announced in March.

Today’s issue (#497) also includes

• Bowling Green committed a WHL player who played two AHL games last season. How is that possible? I’ll explain.

• Notes on Tennessee State, as the university has planned on launching a Division I program soon.

• Who are the five teams I believe have the best shot at winning the national title this week?

• A look at some of the teams on the NCAA Tournament bubble.

• Our weekly look at the inter-conference records of each conference.

• We have some fun and put together a meaningless bracketology for people to get excited (or upset) about.

• If you have ideas for a future newsletter, tips you want to share, mailbag submissions, or if you want to sponsor a future newsletter, please email mike@collegehockeyinsider.com.
