Personally, I'd swap Notre Dame and Mankato - Attendance wise....Albany is screwed no matter who you put there, IMO. Clarkson would be ideal, however, in this situation you sacrifice too much bracket integrity to adjust it. Also, I'd give Michigan, Niagra, move Princeton to play UNH and Air Force would be in the springs. Ultimately, the 3 unranked Auto Bids would be interchangeable I think. I'll take a look and post my predictions for what it will look like after the snow settles this weekend.

How do they put Lerg (Mich St.) and Regan(UNH) up there but not Bachman(CC)?? I put Bachman in the top 10 before I put either of the other 2.

Probably wouldn't have been a good idea for Johnny....is he still sporting those 50 stitches?

I'm more for Notre Dame beating Miami and us flipping that comparison. If Notre Dame beats Miami, it all but assures the Sioux/CC #1's. I'll play with the committee tool more later tonight to see.

Yes, Miami and Northern Michigan tie in the 3rd place game in the CCHA tourney. Kind of the same scenario with Notre Dame and Northern Michigan, if they meet in the 3rd place game.

The NHL Network is airing ECAC Semis? VERY Cool. They will be airing the ECAC Championship game too, but it is tape delayed until Sunday, after the selection show. Props to the NHL Network.

Hopefully he gets some ice time, especially with the Lightning seemingly out of the playoff race.

Awfully high scoring picks considering the WCHA scoring trend this year. I'm going with SCSU - 3 UMN - 1 UND - 2 DU - 0 CC - 4 SCSU - 1 DU - 5 SCSU - 4 UND - 2 CC - 1

Ok, check this out. Put in this scenario: Notre Dame over Miami Michigan over Northern Mich. Harvard over Cornell Princeton over Colgate BU over Vermont New Hampshire 0ver BC Denver over UND St. Cloud over Minn UPDATE and: Michigan over Notre Dame Miami over Northern Michigan Princeton over Harvard Cornell over Colgate New Hampshire over BU Colorado College over St. Cloud UPDATE and: UND over St. Cloud Denver over Colorado College Here are the rankings you get: 1 [AQ] Michigan (Mi) 24 .5950* 2 [AQ] New Hampshire (NH) 23 .5810* 3 Colorado College (CC) 22 .5885 4 North Dakota (ND) 21 .5819 5 Miami (Mm) 20 .5790* 6 [AQ] Denver (DU) 19 .5683 Now, go back and switch the Miami/Northern Michigan game to a tie and you get: 1 [AQ] Michigan (Mi) 24 .5953* 2 [AQ] New Hampshire (NH) 23 .5809* 3 Miami (Mm) 22 .5755* 4 Colorado College (CC) 21 .5885 5 North Dakota (ND) 20 .5820 6 [AQ] Denver (DU) 19 .5684 A tie in this scenario for Miami, would be better than a win. The reason - by beating Northern Michigan, NMU would not be a TUC, if Miami ties them, then NMU would become a TUC and would give them the comparison over UND. Really beginning to hate the TUCliff.

By my calculations, we are a huge fan of Notre Dame right now, as them beating Miami, pretty much secures a 1 seed for us, as long as we win 1 game at the F5(doesn't matter which one.)

Mich State currently sits tied for 9th w/ Clarkson, who, ironically, is eliminated from their conference tourney also. Both are pretty secure in that they will make it in, however, nothing is certain in the world of the PWR.

Who do you want in the NCAA's? Minnesota or Wisconsin? Personally, give me Minnesota just because they're not hosting a regional.

Tech was able to apply some pressure, especially the last flurry, but not much (if anything) got to Lammy. I had to laugh after the horn when Lammy got into the Husky guys face.....however, we can't have him losing his cool during a game where it can cost us, just nice to see some emotion and excitement with the guys. Also, Lammy tossed his goal stick into the crowd during the senior skate.

Air Force beats Mercyhurst in 2 OT's - Air Force joins Niagra as the first 2 teams to qualify for the NCAA's Michigan State is upset by Northern Michigan. Clarkson/Colgate......still going.

Air Force beats Mercyhurst 5-4 early in the 2nd OT. Northern Michigan beat Michigan State. Colgate/Clarkson still going.

Yup! Also, the AHA championship game is in OT.

Colgate taking Clarkson to OT. Clarkson loses and that'll be a 3rd team making the NCAA that isn't in the top 16.

Lot of people should be watching the Colgate/Clarkson game, currently heading to OT. Clarkson get's beat, that means that there will probably be another team getting in that isn't in the top 16.

Only 3 remain!! Hopefully you all have time to get your picks in, or have done so already.
