Here are the latest ratings, with tournament-bound teams marked with a *.
From this, it appears that CC and St Cloud were unlucky to miss out,
while RPI was lucky to get in. It's all very well to "let the computer
decide the seedings", but it depends which computer algorithm you use!
 
One more note: these ratings use the original results: ignoring Maine's
forfeited games, and the overtime wins that became ties. Except for
Maine, I wouldn't expect this picture to change much.
