I don't get it, the University of Alaska Fairbanks not only finished the season in the CCHA ahead of Ohio State, but they also beat them in the tournament series soundly defeating them the first game and squeaking out a win in the 3rd, yet Ohio State gets selected over UAF. What is the reasoning.
The short answer is that NCAA Tournament teams are selected by a mathematical formula called "Pairwise."
The six conference playoff winners and usually 12-15 "at-large" teams are selected via the Pairwise Formula.
