Based on USCHO PWR, a Cornell win combined with certain other games
could increase their PWR's won to 14!!

So, let's see. For all 5 of these to come true we would need the following:
Cornell beats Clarkson
Michigan beats Michigan State
Boston U. beats New Hampshire
The resulting rankings:
new index old index team old won new won
--------- --------- ---- ------- -------
1 1 Michigan 20 20
2 4 North Dakota 17 18
3 2 Clarkson 19 18
4 3 Minnesota 17 17
5 12 Cornell 9 14
6 5 New Hampshire 15 14
7 6 Vermont 15 14
8 7 Maine 15 14
9 8 Boston University 13 13
10 9 Michigan State 12 11
11 10 Miami 11 10
12 11 Denver 10 9
13 13 Colorado College 9 9
14 14 St Cloud 7 7
15 15 Princeton 6 6
16 16 Rensselaer 5 5
As you wrote, though, they would still be seeded third, since
BU would get the automatic bye.
And who would've thought one game could do so much!
