But UNH *shared* the HE Regular Season title; shouldn't this same rule apply
to them if they win the HE Tournament Title ?? And what about NoDak and UM-TC;
they shared the WCHA Regular Season title; if either one wins the WCHA Tourney
shouldn't they then receive a bye as well, even though UM-TC has a lower PWR
than Nodak ?!?
