Not to challenge the rankings, but I believe Miami State was the Nacho regular season "winner" based on tiebreakers, so wouldn't they be the Nacho AQ instead of Omaha?
WE MADE IT!! Tech still has a chance for hardware. But Ferris. Why are we playing Ferris?
Unlike that other tournament, we don't care if two WCHA teams have to face each other in the opening round. You were moved East because Laurium is basically a home game for Tech, and easy travel for Ferris.
Just like you don’t care that RPI is playing Colgate (2 ECAC teams).
Also, with a set field, we'll start the slow process of moving the teams to their destinations soon.
The East Regional teams are staying at Mt. Washington... on the mountain itself. They'll be hooked up with a sack of meat each day...
I nominate the Skating Club of Wilmington, DE as the host of the Futile Four. They've already made numerous people sick with carbon monoxide poisoning, a few more tossing their cookies because of watching bad hockey won't even be noticed.

Championship
"Winner"
SLU & SLU(t) in 2 different brackets! I thought split squad games were only in spring training and NHL preseason.
If the lose 2 in both regionals I want to see them meet in the FuFF!!!
No worries. SLU(t) is code for Yukon (aka UConn), I think?
How can the team with the Belt be here?

Oh, I see, I read down a bit and found its Odessa, Texas. What a relief! I fear a raising of the standards to rinks in London, Berlin, Moscow, Beijing. Does the rule book specify that the tournaments must be held in the US? Oh, wait, do we have a rule book? I imagine not.
Report from Marty the Cat at the summit of Mt Washington is that unseasonably warm temperatures have softened the ice in the upper parking lot. But, the forecast is for lower temperatures soon, so Games On.
