UMN Wisco UND and Michigan in the west regional?

If that happened the B1G guy's heads would explode, there would be an investigation. :)

To clarify, then bracket I described can happen...AND it would be epic!

The NCAA doesn't want conference opponents facing off in the first round... I believe it wouldn't happen unless the B1G had 5 or more entries in the tourney. The one year that DU and Wisconsin faced off in the NCAA Tourney, I think the WCHA had 5 or 6 teams make the tourney.

What I am describing is

1 seed MN playing team X

2 seed UW playing 3 seed UND

No intraconference issues here

There is a potential issue which is what the selection committee cares about. They still don't want it in the second round as best they can.

Good chance teams like North Dakota and/or Wisconsin has a better chance heading to Cincinnati for attendance purposes since they travel better than most. The Gophers will insure there are no attendance problems in the Twin Cities.

Actually they have gone out of their way to set up these very matchups....what they don't want is 2005 again.

Well, we are the Alabama of college hockey...:)

Are you trying to say that a coach who lost to his biggest rival and then lost a bowl game should be fired?

You're never going to let this go are you? Why don't you and gfhockey go back and forth through pm's?

This is dead on. As long as there are at least three teams from one conference in the tourney two of those teams will be in the same regional.

The committee definitely tries to avoid creating the potential that more than two teams make the FF from one conference.

The only way a conference will be represented in three regionals is if that conference gets five or more teams in the tourney.
