The WCHA schools are once again a cluster for the NCAA's.
Here is the current PWR situation:
1 Mich 24
2 UNH 23
3 CC 22
4 UND 21
5 Miami 20
6 DU 19
7 MSU 16
8 BC 16
9 MSU-M 16
10 SCSU 15
11 Clark 14
12 Prince 12
13 UMD 11
14 ND 10
-------------
15 Wisc 10
16 MN 10
So, UND is currently back as a #1 seed...and if the season ended tonight there would be 6 WCHA schools in the NCAA's. But...according to some posters on USCHO, when Princeton (#12) plays Clarkson, they will reach the "10 games against TUC" mark, which will lose them a bunch of comparisons regardless of if they win or lose.
That would change the PWR to this:
1 Mich 24
2 UNH 23
3 CC 22
4 UND 21
5 Miami 20
6 DU 19
7 MSU 16
8 BC 16
9 MSU-M 16
10 SCSU 14
11 Wisc 12
12 Clark 12
13 UMD 12
14 Minn 11
-------------
15 ND 10
16 Prince 9
Yes. You are seeing that correctly. That is 8 (!!!) WCHA schools in the NCAA's, barring any tournament upsets. Wow. Alot can, and will, change, but that is just crazy at this point in the season.
Personally, I would rather see UW and UMN both miss the NCAA's, but that's just me.
