That might be hard for them to do...

**** I wasn't fast enough deleting my message before somebody quoted it. Might be hard for New Hampshire and Yale to win, I suppose

Re: Bracketology

Nope, the highest I've gotten them is a four. They have to win the CCHA to get in. Northern and Ferris could probably both get in, as long as the loser of that matchup wins the third place game.

I found one. Really crazy, but anything could happen. It would involve Air Force, Brown, and Boston Univ winning their tourney's.

CCHA:
Northern over Ferris
Michigan over Miami
--------------
Miami over Ferris (3rd place)
Michigan over Northern (championship)


ECAC:
St. Lawrence over Union
Brown over Cornell
--------------
Brown over St. Lawrence (championship)
Union over Cornell (3rd place)


Hockey East:
Boston University over Maine
Vermont over Boston College
--------------
Boston University over Vermont (championship)


WCHA:
Minnesota-Duluth over North Dakota (4/5 game)
--------------
St. Cloud State over Wisconsin
Denver over Minnesota-Duluth
--------------
Denver over St. Cloud State (championship)
Minnesota-Duluth over Wisconsin


Atlantic Hockey:
Air Force over Sacred Heart
Canisius over RIT
--------------
Air Force over Canisius (championship)


1. Denver (WCHA Champs - Auto Bid)
2. Miami
3. Wisconsin
4t. Boston College
4t. North Dakota
6. St. Cloud State
7. Bemidji State
8. Yale
9. Northern Michigan
10t. Minnesota-Duluth
10t. New Hampshire
CUT OFF LINE ---------------------- CUT OFF LINE
12. Vermont
13. Michigan (CCHA Champs - Auto Bid)
14t. Ferris State
14t. Alaska
16. Boston University (Hockey East Champs - Auto Bid)
17t. Michigan State
17t. Cornell
19t. Colorado College
19t. Union
19t. Maine
22t. Nebraska-Omaha
22t. Minnesota
24. Mass.-Lowell
25. Northeastern
— Air Force (Atlantic Hockey Champs - Auto Bid)
— Brown (ECAC Champs - Auto Bid)
— Alabama-Huntsville (CHA Champs - Auto Bid)

BU, and the other three would be the 4's. Michigan would be the last #3.

Re: Bracketology

It'll take more than that. They're still in 15th with RIT winning or losing.

Well of course more than that, but not a whole lot more, higher seeds winning and Cornell getting the ECAC AQ.

I think Vermont and UMD are the most volatile teams left. They can finish anywhere from #2 seeds to out of the tournament.

A pairwise neophyte Yale fan hanging on to anything positive these days would appreciate some comments on this quote from Jayson Moy . Thanks.

"I have not been able to get Cornell and Yale out of the tournament as of yet, but I think that there are scenarios that can leave either team out, I just have not found them. It may or may not be the case."

They both look pretty solid. St. Cloud's win tonight really helped the Eli.

I posted one above (reply 993) that gets Cornell out.
