the hockey committee revised their selection criteria by changing the
definition of team under consideration from non-losing record
(winning percentage at least .500) to ratings percentage index at
least .500

There are now 5 teams with losing records that are under consideration
and 5 teams with non-losing records that are not under consideration


                   win%    RPI

Western Michigan  48.21   53.53
Merrimack         46.55   53.43
Notre Dame        44.83   52.13
Mass.-Lowell      39.66   51.34
Michigan Tech     37.93   50.54

Alabama-Huntsvill 59.62   49.55
Brown             50.00   49.54
Quinnipiac        67.31   48.66
Mercyhurst        55.56   47.24
Wayne State       53.57   46.69


next question is whether teams that do not qualify as a team under
consideration, yet receive automatic bids, are to be treated as a TUC
for purposes of PWR calculations.
