As noted the odds on any sport are only the result of the amount of money
being placed on those teams.  College hockey is a sport that probably gets
very little action and certainly next to nothing from the professional
gamblers.  These are simply the result of tourists putting money down.
Since there are about 5 million charters running from Minneapolis to Vegas
every week, its not surprising that the bets are most concentrated on teams
from here.  How many Cornell alums use their vacation time in Las Vegas?

Utter nonesense, but that's to be expected, given:
     a.) its only January
     b.) its Vegas, and college hockey isn't as big in betting circles as
football

Interesting that the entire MAAC conference, which I assume is included
under "Field" has the same odds as ranked Cornell, and better odds than
Clarkson, Harvard, Maine, etc.
