Without even looking at anybody else's predictions
Manchester
     1    MSU
     8    Omaha
     9    Harvard
     16    RIT

     2    North Dakota (host)
     7    Michigan Tech

     14    Quinnipiac
South Bend
     4    Miami
     5    Denver
     12   St. Cloud
     13    Yale

two issues to deal with
a) 3 Hockey East teams in Providence  (switch Yale & Quinnipiac)
b) 3 NCHC teams in South Bend (can't move miami, can't swap denver with 
tech, leaves st cloud n minnesota)
leaving us with

I do not like the 4-5 NCHC matchup, but with 5 teams in the top 8 it has 
to happen
