I vote Tom off the island for using a word I had to look up in the dictionary. That behavior is not salubrious on a hockey discussion list.

In the KRACH - Wisconsin #12 and Princeton #19
In the RPI - Wisconsin #15 and Princeton #12
In the PWR - Wisconsin #12 and Princeton #16
USA Today poll - Wisconsin #16 and Princeton #13
USCHO poll - Wisconsin #17 and Princeton #13

Most anyway you cut it, they are close. Now check the money. A #3 seed had a better chance of advancing to the final game than a #4 seed, so it makes cent$ for the NCAA to put Wisconsin in that position for the benefit of the NCAA. Can you imagine the Kohl Center filled up for two days in a row? Notice too that the Wisconsin vs. Denver game is the late game on 3/29, which is the ONLY regional in which the #1 does not play in the late game.

The odds you ask?  Have you ever bought a lottery ticket?  In both cases, the odds are less than salubrious.

Here's a question - who is better (least worst):  Princeton or WI?  I really think strength of schedule notwithstanding, WI should have been the 4 seed (not that it affects their odds of winning anything).  Personally, I think Denver could - go - all - the - way so that's how I voted, but loyalties will force me to root for the team that maybe shouldn't even be there (WI).
