Beyond that there are far to many variables to hazard a guess. Of course yet another home loss to yet another team behind the Irish in the pairwise didn't help. We can get in by sweeping MSU next weekend and winning a conference semi final game even if we were to lose the final, but the number of other games that have to go exactly right over the next 3 weekends for that to happen make it unlikely, to say the least. This team's abdication on home ice probably means our season ends next weekend or the weekend after that. This collection of players fail the urgency test far too often to expect them to capture 3 must win games at home in a row.
