Well, the way I figure, the record vs TUCs is close with Lowell, BU, Ferris, Michigan, Miami. If Minnesota wins the F5, Minn will have a higher RPI than any of them save Michigan, if Mich wins at the Joe. So, that leaves Minn trailing only BC. The others, Minnesota could lose the compare due to losing TUC and ComOpp. But, the thing is, if Minn wins out, they will be ahead of any of those teams who don't win their conference champ in the TUC category also.
So, if BC wins the HE, and Minn wins out, the Gophers will lose compares only to BC, Mich(maybe) and whoever else might win the CCHA. That leaves the Gophers 4th at worst. If they win out.
Like you said, help from CC is good, because it keeps MTU off of the TUC list.
All for now. Thanks for any thing you might bring to game updates. I have only USCHO to help me with that.
