I wonder if losing to Augsburg in the playoffs would be enough to drop St. Scholastica out of an at-large bid?
They are 2-4-1 in their last 7. And 4 of their 8 final games are vs Bethel and Augsburg. Not a lot of room for error.

I may be incorrect, but isn't Scholastica still the projected MIAC leader at this point by points percentage? From what I saw Bethel has 24 of a possible 36 points (.667), while CSS has 22 of a possible 30 (.733). Those totals could be wrong though.
You don't have Geneseo vs Elmira listed as a first round matchup.
Its amazing with all the talent in the state theres only 1 d3 school for hockey. I get there isnt many d3 schools on michigan but I think we would all love to see some more west teams out in michigan ohio indiana and illinois

Yeah, I think there only 7 Division 3 schools in Michigan. The real travesty is the fact that there are 11 Division 1 men's programs in MI, OH and IN but only 1 Division 1 women's team. (and they are rated #1 in the country and have played in the last two national championships)
Isn't the Pairwise usually more stable by now? Plattsburgh jumped from #11 to #8 last night without playing. I get bumping up or down a spot on a given night, but that seems to be a sizeable jump for a night off.
Hobart is a head and shoulders #1 the rest are all very similar with flaws, minor they may be.

Hobart's title to lose.
Be curious to see who the other three are that join them in Hartford barring a major upset.

Now with a 9/4 Split, there's 2 ways you can play this - adhering to the 500-mile rule, which means NY teams are playing Adrian, or you break the 500-mile rule, and the 4 teams in the West play each other for 1 spot in the Frozen Four. I've included both scenarios here:
Version 1 (500-mile rule intact)
First Round:
Augsburg @ Bethel
Geneseo @ Elmira
Norwich @ Trinity
Plymouth State @ Utica
Plattsburgh @ Curry
Quarterfinals:
Plattsburgh/Curry @ Hobart
Plymouth State/Utica @ Norwich/Trinity
Geneseo/Elmira @ Adrian
Augsburg/Bethel @ Stevens Point
Version 2 (No 500-mile rule, keep West intact)
First Round:
Augsburg @ Adrian
Bethel @ Stevens Point
Norwich @ Utica
Plymouth State @ Geneseo
Plattsburgh @ Curry
Quarterfinal:
Plattsburgh/Curry@ Hobart
Plymouth State/Geneseo @ Trinity
Norwich/Utica @ Elmira
Bethel/Stevens Point @ Augsburg/Adrian
#17 St. Norbert beat #2 Adrian 6-2 so they will drop in the ratings. That should push Elmira back to hosting them.
