You Are the Committee

[7>4]

I commented on USCHO that this proposed bracket is the best I've seen. It adheres to a perfect bracket for the high seed (1-8) and only requires two switches among the lower seeds. It spreads out all four CCHA teams and all three WCHA teams, while putting at least one Hockey East team in each bracket as well. It also should fare well attendance wise.

Grand Rapids

1 Minnesota (WC)

8 Michigan (CC)

11 Mass-Amherst (HE)

16 Alabama-Huntsville (CH)

Denver

2 Notre Dame (CC)

7 Boston Univ (HE)

10 North Dakota (WC)

15 Air Force (AH)

Rochester

3 Clarkson (EC)

6 St Cloud (WC)

9 Mich State (CC)

13 Maine (HE)

Manchester

4 New Hampshire (HE)

5 Boston Coll (HE)

12 St Lawrence (EC)

14 Miami (CC)

Agreed. These brackets make sense based on PWR and you have one team in each region that will bring in attendance. What would Gopher fans want, the possibility of facing MI in Grand Rapids or the Sioux in Denver with a FF spot on the line?
