Well, for some unGodly reason, i was up at 4am this morn analyzing what could
becoe the NCAA pairings. Here[s my 4am logic...
 
WEST
1) Michigan
2) Colorado College
3) Denver
4) Michigan State
5) Minnesota
6) Lake Superior
 
EAST
1) Maine
2) Boston U.
3) New hampshire
4) Bowling Green
5) Clarkson
6) Brown
 
 
I think LSSU will make it because they are playign, in my opiinon, some of the
best hockey in teh CCHA right now. This is all contingent on outcomes of the
playoffs and all that jazz (ya know, season not over, all subject to change)
 
CONFERENCE BREAKDOWN
 
ECAC -- (2) Brown, Clarkson
Hockey East (3) Maine, BU, New Hampshire
CCHA -- (4) Michigan, Bowling Green, MSU, LSSU
WCHA -- (3) CC, Denver, Minnesota
 
 
BUBBLE TEAMS (including ones mentioned) - IN ORDER OF BEST CHANCE
 
MSU -- has to make CCHA final 4
LSSU -- ditto
Minnesota -- depends on rest of season
Wisconsin -- ditto MN
Miami (Ohio) -- needs a miraculous playoff
 
 
These are just my opinions and subject to criticism
