    Why not? That is more logical than including a couple of sacrificial lambs, in the name of, what, "fairness"?

      I don't get it, either.

          The RS is all a conference needs to determine a champion. A second season is ridiculous.

            In your opinion, I do think too many teams make conference tourney's (say top 4 should get in)...In the NCAA tourney if a lower seed beats a higher seed doesn't that go against your logic? I mean the higher seed still has a better body of work? What miracle on ice, who needs a story like that!

              So you're classy as well, I won't stoop to your level but the arrogance you show, is more a danger to the country than people "defend the indefensible here"...

                  Nazareth, Wentworth, Southern Maine, Nichols and Plattsburgh just off the top of my head would all be out right now if we didn’t have conference tournaments.

                  Just give it a rest man. It’s good for the game and good for hockey to have to play your way in when it counts. There are four bids available for those that performed well in the regular season but don’t win their league. More than fair odds to still get in.

                    You listed a bunch of sub .500 teams. The cinderella story theory is dumb. The MASCAC sends a cinderella story to the tournament every year and they get bounced in the first round every time. The system is pretty flawed.

                      If Adrian gets sent out east I wonder if they’ll be in the same pod as Utica? It would be cool to see Utica beat them up for a third time this season, and this time in front of their home fans! I’ve been told that, in hockey, the easiest thing to do is beat a good team three times in a row.

                        There have been 7-9 and 8-8 teams in the NFL playoffs before too while teams with better records missed out. It is what it is.

                        1/3rd of the NCAA Tournament field is eligible for an at-large bid. That's pretty darn good all things considered.

                        At the end of the day, "just win baby."

                          Adrian to Utica is 535 miles, requiring a flight.

                          Much more likely Adrian plays Hobart or Geneseo I would think. Lake Forest is also currently in play for an at-large despite being eliminated from their conference tournament. LF and Adrian could meet in a first round matchup.

                            Well, sure. But if we don’t, can’t someone just hand it to us? That would be the fair thing to do after those great games we played back in December.

                              For sure, lots of appealing scenarios. For some reason I thought Adrian was just under 500mi from Utica.

                              I envision SNC winning the NCHA autobid and hosting or traveling to the MIAC champ with the winner playing Eau Claire in a quarterfinal, and Adrian being sent east.

                                And we move on to the semifinals: #5 Naz vs. #1 Utica & #3 Stevenson vs. #2 Wilkes. Going to be some good games.

                                My predictions:

                                #5 Naz vs. #1 Utica: Game 1: Utica wins 6-1. Game 2: Utica wins 3-2. Utica moves on to finals

                                #3 Stevenson vs #2 Wilkes: Game 1: Stevenson wins 4-3 in OT. Game 2: Wilkes wins 3-1. Wilkes wins mini-game 3-2 and moves on to finals.

                                We'll see how these predictions hold up haha.
