Subject: If the Season Ended Today
> I've posted another "If The Season Ended Today" analysis on The Big

> 5W Mass-Lowell (H) 6E Cornell (E)
> 4W Michigan (C) 3E Boston Univ (H)
> 1W Denver U (W) --+--2E Minnesota (W)

> 2W St Cloud (W) --+--1E New Hampshire (H)
> 3W Mich State (C) 4E CO College (W)
> 6W Mercyhurst (M) 5E Maine (H)

> Minnesota goes East so they'll be bracketed to play Denver in the
> national semifinal. Lowell goes West to avoid a first-round game with
> Maine or BU. Mercyhurst and CC also get switched because Eire to Ann
> Arbor is a shorter drive than Eire to Worcester, and CC would have to
> fly to either site. So I think the brackets look the same whether or
> not the NCAA tries to reduce travel.
