A lot of talk concerning Clarkson getting a bye if they win the ECAC
tournament this weekend.  I believe this to be unfair if BU or Maine
does not receive a bye because of Clarkson.  I think if Clarkson wins
the ECAC tournament (a large "IF" considering the way the ECAC has gone
this year) and gets a bye, send them out west as the number 2 seed.
The RPI rankings between Clarkson, Colorado, and Minnesota are much
closer than Clarkson and BU or Maine.  Thus seeing Colorado and
Minnesota without a bye is a little more tolerable than BU or Maine
without a bye.  Of course if Colorado and Clarkson both win their
tournaments, BU Maine, or Michigan will be left without a bye.  This is
WRONG!  The NCAA should strongly rethink their latest brainstorm.
