An interesting argument, but MSU does NOT fit in this group for one reason:
> They HAVE played established D-1 programs this year.  They had two ties at
>Minnesota, they had two close losses to North Dakota, and played almost
>half of a WCHA schedule (I believe 10 or 12 games).  And now they have
>beaten ND on their home ice.  Mankato is establishing themselves as a
>legitimate D-1 program, not waiting for some tournament committee to give
>it to them.
 
 
Andrew I believe that you made a compelling argument for you point and
finally someone gets it. Quinnipiac is not in the same league as a Mankato
state. If  we are looking at Independants Mankota I would say they would
have to picked for the playoffs before a QU or UCON. By far.
