      Denver, Union and Maine can be eliminated but it would take tremendous upsets to do it, including SCSU or Tech running the table in the WCHA, Colgate or Harvard winning the ECAC, Providence winning HEA and Bowling Green winning the CCHA.

      For brevity's sake, can we agree to just call it "the parlay"?

        i'm obviously looking at it from a maine viewpoint, but in my first pass on the predictor, i was able to get them up to a #1 seed (fourth overall)

          North Dakota is not perfectly safe either yet:
          WCHA Play-in #2: Denver defeats Michigan Tech.
          WCHA Play-in #1: St. Cloud State defeats North Dakota.
          WCHA Semifinal #2: Denver defeats Minnesota-Duluth.
          WCHA Semifinal #1: St. Cloud State defeats Minnesota.
          WCHA Championship game: St. Cloud State defeats Denver.
          Hockey East Semifinal #2: Maine defeats Boston University.
          Hockey East Semifinal #1: Providence defeats Boston College.
          Hockey East Championship game: Providence defeats Maine.
          ECAC Semifinal #2: Harvard defeats Cornell.
          ECAC Semifinal #1: Union defeats Colgate.
          ECAC Championship game: Harvard defeats Union.
          ECAC Consolation game: Cornell defeats Colgate.
          CCHA Semifinal #2: Western Michigan defeats Miami.
          CCHA Semifinal #1: Michigan defeats Bowling Green.
          CCHA Championship game: Western Michigan defeats Michigan.
          CCHA Consolation game: Miami defeats Bowling Green.
          Atlantic Hockey Semifinal #2: RIT defeats Niagara.
          Atlantic Hockey Semifinal #1: Air Force defeats Mercyhurst.
          Atlantic Hockey Championship game: Air Force defeats RIT

          Results in No Dakota being the last team out.

          To summarize the above:
          AHA - AF over RIT
          CCHA - WM over Mich (Champ); Miami over BG (conso)
          ECAC - Harvard over Union (Champ); Cornell over Colgate (conso)
          HE - Providence over Maine
          WCHA - SCSU over Denver (which I think resolves all 5 games)

              Wishful thinking. You've got some crazy *** picks in HE and ECAC. BBears playing the Friars in the Championship? BC the hottest team in the country tanking vs PC? Colgate beating Union?

                Sounds like the Riverhawks are a lock. Hope the extra rest helps.

                    didn't say it was going to happen, but given priceless is a maine fan and he's calculated what it would take for maine to be on the outside looking in, i was looking to see how high i could get them.... clearly some of those picks are out there...

                      Merrimack is NOT out. WMU/Cornell lose twice, Maine over BU, chalk everywhere else and MC is the last team in.

                        hmm... I've been trying to figure that one out... didn't think to have Cornell drop.

                              MC fans should be rooting hard for Union, they HAVE to win two, and Cornell/WMU need to lose two. Other than that Maine-BC title game winner is irrelevant, WCHA/CCHA winners are not relevant so long as its one of the top seeds.

                                I'm looking at one right now. See if this matches your results. BU over BC in HE, Miami over Mich in CCHA. That preserves all 4 of those teams above Minnesota. I'll try it with Maine in place of BU also.
