Wooooo! Now it's up to the committee

anders lee- Edina and Notre Dame- cant believe I'm cheering

Ha ha!

Notre Dame and we might get a bracket with Niagara, Canisius, and Quinnipiac Michigan and we likely get Michigan and Minnesota and Niagara

Wow!! Haha

Trouba is as good a college dman as I've ever seen. He will not be in college next year...

Fcs atlantic

FCS Atlantic 0-0 in first

Wow...fast hockey on display

First shift all wolverines

Game on..."play like a champion today" Kill, kill, kill Go domers

How about Manny's dinner the night before the tourney next year...

Good thing Moy isn't on the committee

That's because CHN isn't manipulating brackets for "attendance"

Seriously...WCHA conference tourney winner, WCHA regular season winner, and CCHA conference tourney winner all as #4 seeds if Michigan wins.

No number 1 wants Michigan or Sconny right now

Yup...how about tht draw for the Goofs? Your reward for a great season...a power program, that happens to be fajita steak hot right now, in their backyard, in the opener

You know, rules only apply when they benefit certain people

It's amazing to see all the empty seats at other conference tourneys... No way Pig 10 or National draw F5 attendance...

It's not rocket science, and I've also rarely missed in my predictions since the inception of pairwise. He went out on a limb by making attendance moves. These are purely discretionary. I don't think anyone's upset about Niagara. I would love to have Quinnipiac and Canisius as well, and Notre Dame winning creates that bracket. Only way it doesn't happen in that scenario is selection committee bias/ manipulation under guise of raising attendance.

You just can't take communion

The a$$clown on USCHO bracketology is making big moves for attendance...either that or just hoping to rev up some readers. If Notre Dame wins, and they do what that clown says, I will be furious. Quinnipiac's coach is on the committee...

In the Notre Dame wins scenario we have lovely rewards for great seasons for a couple #1 seeds: Lowell gets WI...conference playoff champ of a big time conference and hottest team in country Notre Dame gets SCSU...regular season champ of a big time conference crazy how the puck sometimes bounces... in that scenario, t wouldn't be too far fetched to imagine an all WCHA frozen four again

Looking at their stats, it looks like their goalie "chewbacca" is a stud. Although they don't appear to have played many games against top end competition.

avoiding intraconference is still easy- splitting ties to avoid intraconference vs using the tie-breaker criteria resulting in an intraconference seems like a no-brainer. The only true intraconference move would be Yale and Wisconsin in the ND wins the CCHA scenario...You have to believe the committee will think that Minnesota, the #2 seed, earned the right to not have to play a rival, hot off the conference tourney championship, in the first round and therefore flip #14 and #15 seeds.
