>1-3 seed flame-outs in recent conf QFs:
     >
     >1997 ECAC #3 Vermont, ???
     >1996 ECAC #3 SLU, no NCAA bid
     >1996 WCHA #3 Denver, no bid
     >1995 ECAC #2 Brown, no bid
     >1995 HE #3 UNH, 3E
     >1994 WCHA #1 Colorado College, no bid
     >1992 ECAC #1 Harvard, no bid
     >1991 HE #1 BC, 3E
 
     I don't know how BC did in 1991, but UNH got destroyed in their game
     after the 2-week layoff in '95, something like 9-2 by Denver.
 
     I don't know about the other conferences, but the ECAC teams listed
     above were all in serious logjams atop the conference standings.
     There is often very little separating the top four teams.  Harvard
     took the regular season title in '92 with something like six ties.
