If we start with my premise that nobody new gets "the" trophy until UNH does with the exception of teams so long suffering that you might have forgotten they don't have a title long-long ago anyway (looking at Minn-Duluth couple years back and even a little Yale last year) which of the rich do you root for to get richer?
BC - going for their 6th title and 5th since 2000, plus they are a H.E. school plus Jerry York just seems a class act, plus Mike Ayers is on the staff, minus they are BC and hence have BC fans, minus 3 titles in 5 years! minus the rest of us need this little run to end so there is some balance again
Minnesota - going for their 6th title, plus it has been a decade since they won one - so someone sort of new, minus they are the goofers, minus big ten idiot chest thumping - winning a title first year as a league
UND - going for their 8th title, plus it has been a decade since they won one - so someone sort of new, plus they would definitely keep Hakstol and they have not been as good with him, plus they don't wear maroon and gold, plus they will be referred to as the Fight Sioux no matter what the NCAA does which is just fun, minus NCHC chest thumping when that league has pretty much sucked this year - winning a title first year as a league
