Is it not possible that Wisconsin could finish 4th in the WCHA and (gasp)
host Minnesota?  That, BTW, is my nightmare - I don't trust the Badgers to
beat the Gophers.

Agreed (sort of).  They could still win the tournament and get in, of
course.  And a split here would make a case for them.  But if they get swept
(and lets face it, that is probable) and then don't make it to at least the
finals of the tourney, I don't think they'll get a ticket to the big dance.
