From my calculations, here are the records of the 12 tourney teams
versus the other 11 teams in the tourney.
 
  Maine                8-1-1   .850
  Minnesota-Duluth     9-4-1   .679
  Harvard              4-2-1   .643
  Michigan             4-3-1   .563
  Minnesota            5-5-4   .500
  Clarkson             2-2-3   .500
  Lake Superior        4-5-2   .455
  Boston Univ          4-5-0   .444
  Wisconsin            5-8-2   .400
  Northern Michigan    4-8-3   .367
  Miami                2-5-3   .350
  Brown                2-5-1   .313
 
Please let me know if there are any errors in the above.
 
RPI finished 3-5-1 and Michigan State 3-7-0 versus the 12 tourney
teams.  IMHO, RPI and MSU are the top two teams not in the tourney.
(Apologies to UNH and UMass-Lowell fans.)
