The fact that the CHA and MAAC are "minor" conferences is not my point.
Frankly, I have no complaint with these conferences getting autobids; I
think it's good for college hockey.  That's fodder for another discussion.
What does confuse me is that throughout the hockey season PWR classifies
TUC's as those teams with RPI's equal to at least 0.5000.  Why does this
definition change come tournament time?

The MAAC and CHA team that qualifies for the tournament (Wayne State and
???) are considered TUC now that they've qualified.  The same would have
been true had another team (Northeastern?) with a < .500 RPI qualified
from a major conference...
