Moy's bracketology with this week looked at two scenarios, one that brought attendance into play more than they other. But, he stuck with the rankings and less movement. In this "attendance" bracket, he had Minny in Fargo, but brought WMU over and didn't account for the intraconference match up, for some reason. This is what he went with:

East Regional (Providence):
14 Boston College vs. 3 Harvard
11 Union vs. 8 Providence

Northeast Regional (Manchester):
13 Cornell vs. 4 Minnesota
12 St. Cloud State vs. 5 Boston University

Midwest Regional (Cincinnati):
15 Air Force vs. 2 Denver
9 Massachusetts-Lowell vs. 7 Western Michigan

West Regional (Fargo):
16 Bemidji State vs. 1 Minnesota-Duluth
10 North Dakota vs. 6 Penn State

That East Regional is BRUTAL. Oof, I'd want to avoid that.

I'd take Penn St over any 2 seed in the bracket.  Their record is good, but their SOS is very weak.  Haven't really beat anyone.  Bulldoh/Hawk regional final with a trip to the FF on the line in the Scheels Center would be insane!!

This is an interesting read:

According to this we need to win half of our remaining games to remain 13 or below.

Doesn't mention what is likely if we win 3 of 6 but lose 1 or both in the target center. Of course 2 of those 3 wins would have to come in the quarterfinal to get to the target center. So are we better off winning 3 of 6 and failing to get there

My take on Jim's updated end of season forecast. 

The target line is PWR13 or better. 

Wisconsin and Ohio State are in better shape than UND. They need 4 of 6. 
UNO is in the same place as UND: 3 of 4.
BC and Vermont and USAFA are hurtin': They have to win 2 of 2 to be at 13. 
Notre Dame and Cornell and Providence can go 1 of 2 and still be PWR13. 
SCSU can go 2 of 4. PSU has to go 3 of 6. 

DU, UMD, Harvard, UMn, WMU, BU, Union, and UMLowell all appear to be safely in.

The teams in bold is who we should cheer for, correct?

For UND, like you said, win 3 or 4 and your first round playoff matchup and most likely 1 of 2 in Minneapolis.
