Maine is a better matchup against BC

Gotta feel for BU a bit in this scenario but if they’re serious about bracket integrity it probably looks something like this.

This is 100000% incorrect.... nowhere close to what the brackets will be and you have a team in that didn't make it and missing a team. Let the experts take care of this for you.
Here's what I had come up with.
Providence:
Boston College (1) vs Michigan Tech
Wisconsin vs Quinnipiac
Springfield:
Michigan State (4) vs Massachusetts
Maine vs Cornell
Missouri:
Boston University (2) vs Western Michigan
North Dakota vs Michigan
Sioux Falls:
Denver (3) vs Rochester
Minnesota vs Omaha
BU gets absolutely demolished in this scenario. Not only do they get sent to purgatory in Missouri, they miss out on playing RIT (21 PWR) to play Western (13 PWR) to avoid WMU and Denver in the first round.

Apologies if you were offended, I updated it as soon as I noticed. Just people speculating, no need to get your panties in a bunch.

This would be a dream scenario for Maine imo. Nothing against those other teams but being away from the BC and BU regions in addition to not getting sent west would be great.

Never Forget!
The NCAA could swap the 1 seeds for
Denver vs UMass (Springfield)
Michigan State vs Western Michigan (Missouri)
Boston University vs RIT (Sioux Falls)
Let me get my violin.

That may very well be true but to me BC and BU are on another level than everyone else. BC showed last night that they might even be in a class of their own.

If you get Cornell in Springfield, be prepared for goon hockey.

Yup, Schafer teams are brutal to watch.

Maine has more.penalties than Cornell this year ..do they just get away with more?

I think it might have something to do with the refs knowing that Cornell's style is very hands-on, and as a result letting stuff go in deference to Schafer (he's been there 20 years) but IDK.
I am surprised that they have drawn fewer penalties than has had Maine, though.

I am returning home from Lake Placid and I think they get away with murder. Refs can’t call everything and they know it and they take advantage of that fact. Protect your bros.

Iowa is stuck 10-20 years in the past. The most recent teams have had more skilled and fast-skating players, which, along with strong goaltending and Schafer's emphasis on defense and tenacity, is a huge part of the reason that the team has had multiple NCAA appearances in recent years. This longstanding, ancient idea that Cornell is a dirty, oversized team is ridiculous and misleading. I'm looking forward to seeing how they match up with Maine if the committee decides to place the two together in Springfield.
