Reasonable. I could see them then swapping the 8/9 and 6/12 matchups, 
moving 2 MN teams to Sioux Falls and Northeastern to an eastern site 
(which also is more convenient to Michigan than Sioux Falls, probably).

I could also see them swapping 13/14 instead of 14/15, then you end up 
with the 5/11 and 4/14 in Allentown and the 3/13 and 6/12 in Worcester. 
And then see #1 above about the 6/12 and 8/9 swap.

Nothing else jumps out at me.

Rooting interests: BU, Michigan Tech, Penn State, more or less in that 
order. I'm complicated.
