Thanks Erik. That answer is surprising. I would have thought that Clarkson was
the 12th team. I hate to ask again, but how about if BGSU had lost to MSU in a
consolation game?
 
The point I am getting at is whether the lack of a consolation game in
the CCHA hurts them come tournament time, because the semifinal losers
don't have that one last chance to raise their RPI, and other ratings.
 
See you later,
John
