Same reasons that I hate Holy Cross. They used to run their mouths about their record in football against the Ivies. Then they changed leagues or something and lost all their scholarships (Ivies, as you know, don't give any). You can easily guess what happened to their competitiveness in football against the Ivies. A good school scholastically, but just not on par with the big boys and girls.

Fargo:
1. Minnesota (1)
2. Ohio State (8)
3. Western Michigan (10)
4. RIT (16)
Allentown:
1. Denver (3)
2. St. Cloud State (7)
3. Penn State (9)
4. Cornell (14)
Bridgeport:
1. Quinnipiac (2)
2. Harvard (6)
3. Michigan Tech (11)
4. Minnesota State (15)
Manchester:
1. Michigan (4)
2. BU (5)
3. Notre Dame (12)
4. Alaska (13)
I suppose there is an option here to put SCSU in Fargo but I think that would land #6 Harvard in Allentown to play #9 Penn State.

Perhaps the larger question is: What will happen to Alaska's bid? It looks like Notre Dame will qualify (if they win tonight they will be in a strong position). Where will be the cut line?
My guess is that CCHA will be won by MTU or MSUM, so no extra bid there (2 bids). B10 will be won by someone qualifying otheriwse (5 bids). NCHC looks to be a 3 bid league, because it's hard to imagine Omaha, UMD or UND running the table (Omaha might sneak in however). AHA is a one big league. ECAC is a 2 bid league with Cornell a huge question. HEA is at most a 2 bid league. That makes, in total, 15. It seems there is room here for Alaska, as long as they win tomorrow night. (Note: This is assuming Omaha does not qualify. It is, however assuming someone besides BU wins HEA. And, it assumes that Alaska finishes ahead of Cornell in the PWR.)

Shouldn't Harvard and St. Cloud be flipped? Or is this an attendance thing?¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I am sure there is a math expert who will prove be wrong but it doesn't seem like the single game QF round in Hockey East is beneficial to their bubble teams this year. Merrimack, NU and UConn could benefit from a chance to sweep a series it would seem as winning multiple games is their only hope outside of winning he HE tournament. Sure in some cases not losing a 2nd game in a series maybe keeps you in the NCAA field but that doesn't look to be the case here.

On the flip side, a team like Notre Dame probably would have preferred the one game QF. Beat MSU and then lost to Minnesota and they're probably in. The NCAA had to screw up the Beanpot with standardized OT bull crap I am surprised they don't call for a uniform playoff format across conferences. Not as simple due to # of teams varying but surely the NCAA must get involved!

There's times that I just don't get the frickin' pairwise. Ohio State beats Penn State convincingly on Friday, and each team moves one spot. They lose in overtime on Saturday, and Ohio State drops 3 while PSU rises 2. I know that home ice matters, but I think it matters way too much.

This year you are right. But in another year, in another situation, it would completely the opposite. I'm not sure, but I would guess that the single elimination Hockey East playoff from this year is for the purpose of only needing 2 weeks for the playoffs. Sure, you could do a Tuesday night single game for the lower teams, and then 2/3 on the weekend, but that crams the calendar pretty hard.
