I don't recall exactly the PWR/RPI, but two years ago, UNH/Maine/BC/MSU
were all pretty high up there.  I know Maine was the 3 seed in the east,
but that's just because Clarkson pulled the double, and got the bye (and
got pasted by Maine).  MSU was the 2 seed in the west (?), BC the 4 seed
so I don't know how strong their ranking was going in.  UNH was #1 in the
east, and I believe 1st or 2nd to NoDak in PWR....
