Whatever happens, the ECAC champion (Clarkson or Cornell :) ) will stay
home.  The other team goes West - UNLESS CU and CU are the 2 Eastern
teams.  In that case, both stay East to keep the gate up.  (Of course,
based on PWR and RPI, the only way Clarkson & Cornell make it to the
Regionals is to buy a ticket).
 
I am loathe to send BC West. OTOH, if you want to aviod conference
match-ups, one HEA team should go West.  Among UNH, BU and BC, who's #3
on the PWR?  That team goes West.
 
I do agree with only 2 ECAC team (right now).  Their out of conference
record stinks.  Looks like last year was a fluke.
 
Of course with over 50% of the ECAC schedule to go, a lot can happen.

(Who am I kidding???)
