if Providence wins, they are in and it appears that Bowling Green will
finish first out of the money
 
It appears the LSSU Michigan game winner should get the second seed in
the west and the bye.  Should michigan win, they will surpass CC in
RPI by 3/100 percent but on the pairwise comparisons they come out behind
        Record in last 20 games CC wins 82.5 to 80.0
        Record against teams under consideration CC wins 75 to ~60
        Record against common opponents CC wins
        The common opponents are
                        CC      Mich
        Wicsonsin       5-0     1-0
        Minnesota       2-1-1   0-1
        Northern Mich   6-0     1-0
 
The pairwise finish, it seems to me will be:
 
  1   Boston University
  2   Colorado College
  3   Lake Superior Michigan winner
  4   Lake Superior Michigan loser
  5   Minnesota
  6   Western Michigan if Providence wins else Michigan State
  7   Vermont          if Providence wins else Western Michigan
  8   Michigan State   if Providence wins else Vermont
  9   Mass Lowell
 10   Clarkson
 11   Cornell          if Providence wins else Bowling Green
 12   Providence       if Providence wins else Cornell
 
I can think of several ways to seed these teams.
