i'm also wondering, will everyone have the same number of games or is it going to be a percentage deal.

I think there's not much argument that Ferris will go to Mankato for the first round. Less certain but likely that UAH goes to BG.
From there the jumble begins. I can see any combination of opponent and location for the remaining Tech, NMU, LSSU, and Bemidji. You'd have to favor the Lakers and Beavers as the home ice teams with the remaining scheduled games, but even that doesn't firm it up. Any unexpected points by UAH or Ferris or points dropped by the Mavericks will be a huge factor.
Sufficient to say this will be an important weekend for scoreboard watching.

Just par for the course in this crazy 2020-21 season, Mankato and Bemidji face off tonight in another odd Thursday night game. If Mankato wins, they get to skate the MacNaughton.
However, if Bemidji wins, things get a whole lot more interesting. Because of how far behind the Beavers are in conference games played, they could go from 6th place to WCHA champions in just 11 days! BSU has already played MSU four times and the Beavers are trending in the right direction having been shut out in the opening game 0-5, losing the next two 4-5 and 1-1 in a shootout before trouncing the Mavs 4-1 during their most recent meeting.
This series is home / home with the first game in Mankato so you know the Mavs will will want to use whatever home ice advantage they might have and lock up the Cup tonight. If the Beavers can take at least 5 pts from Mankato this weekend, they control their own destiny to get a share of the Cup. Bemidji has four other remaining games against UAH and LSSU (March 2,3,6,7 all at home) so other than a brutal week of games packed together, BSU running the table with six wins is not that much of a stretch.Preserving Michigan Tech's Hockey History

You might not have seen Tom Serratore go off on the refs on the ice after the game but apparently, he was very upset by the way Mankato had run a pick to get free and score the winning goal and how the refs knew it was a pick and did nothing about it. But I don't think that's the whole story. As you might be aware Bemidji is expert at slowing you down and playing good defense, and they did that during the game as did Mankato in a big way. The Refs it did seem decided to ignore almost all of it.
However, what seemed to me that happened was that on the first goal for Mankato, that they scored off a faceoff, they also ran a pick in order to get loose. I think that is the reason the coach was so angry. Two picks-- two goals, and they lose.MTU: Three time NCAA champions.

So looking at the current standings, Ferris can book their trip to Mankato for the playoffs, but in typical WCHA fashion everything else is still fluid with one week left to play. BSU could climb from 6th all the way to 2nd as they have FOUR games left to play while LSSU and UAH have THREE left to play. Everyone else except NMU (reg season complete) has TWO remaining.
According to my calcs, no one besides Mankato has locked up home ice but we know NMU and UAH will be on the road for the opening round.
