jloos Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 West Regional: 15 Holy Cross vs. 3 North Dakota 11 Ohio State vs. 6 Minnesota Midwest Regional: 13 Notre Dame vs. 4 Minnesota-Duluth 12 Denver vs. 5 Michigan East Regional: 14 Colgate vs. 2 Maine 9 Miami vs. 7 Wisconsin Northeast Regional: 16 Bemidji State vs. 1 Boston College 10 St. Cloud State vs. 8 New Hampshire You'll have to visit USCO for the explanation. Jayson Moy teaches math at the college level, so I can't follow his reasoning. How great would it be to knock the Gophers out of the NCAA's. If Duluth sweeps this weekend I would think they could flip with the Sioux, leaving us in the dreaded Midwest Regional with Michigan. This weekend is big for determining where the Sioux land.

I believe the West and Midwest winners will be in opposite games in the FF. It would be even better to beat the Gophers in the championship game.

WPoS Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 again, how sweet it would be to get #6 from UND! WPoS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwing77 Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 This bracket is very beneficial for Hockey East. The chances of Maine and BC making the FF is better in this bracket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagard Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 The brackets are pre-determined. The #1 PWR team's bracket will face the #4 PWR team's bracket and the #2's bracket will face the #3's bracket. So as long as Maine and BC don't finish #1-#4 or #2-#3, the precious eastern teams will have to go through the West to make the final. However, I do think if it is all off UND/UM/UMD/UMich will be placed in Western regionals if Maine can not be bumped from a #1 seed. This will suck for all western teams involved, and Maine and BC will cruise to Boston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 ... and Maine and BC will cruise to Boston. And the NCAA accountants all harmonize in with a big-ol' Cha-ching! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WPoS Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 sagard, but remember this tho, the NC$$ can change things if it is needed. Remember in 2002 when teams were to not travel to far due to the 9/11 dealio? regardless of what ANYONE says, I trust the NC$$ as far as I can comfortably spit a wet rat. They will do what is needed to get two Eastern coast teams into the FF, regardless of any rules. WPoS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffj Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Not sure if the recent swoon by Michigan will change Michigan's ranking for the NCAA's. Most likely not. However, I did just read an article that said Al Montoya left Saturday's game with a pulled hammy. Hopefully, this is not a serious injury for the WJC gold medal winner. Might impact early rounds of NCAA play for Michigan though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
