I wonder if they might break the 1-4 / 2-3 FF seeding to keep
New Hampshire east?  They've said that the bye teams will still be
selected normally, but they're fuzzy on what happens after that.

See this Boston Globe story, which both clarifies and muddies things.

FYI for Patrick - John maintained the 1-4 / 2-3 seedings (with UNH the
#1 overall seed), and since BU must stay east as the host, that put
the Wildcats out west.
