I'll give this a shot.  I think Bowling Green is done for after their
loss to MSU.
 
I think the 1 and 2's in both regionals will be:
 
East            1 BU    2 Maine (like Brian has it)
West            1 Mich  2 Wisconsin
 
Why Wisconsin?  I think they are high enough, and the WCHA Champs
after beating CC.  I think CC gets the 3 seed in the West followed
by Minnesota.  The loser of the CCHA Championship and Denver get sent
East.
 
In the East, exactly as Brian has it.  The 5 and 6's though are
probably the CCHA Champ and RPI.
 
So:
 
East                    West
1 BU                    Michigan
2 Maine                 Wisconsin
3 UNH                   Colorado
4 Clarkson              Minnesota
5 CCHA Champ            CCHA runner-up
6 RPI                   Denver
 
So the matchups as I see them:
 
Round 1
CC vs. RPI
Denver vs. UNH
CCHA Champ vs. Minnesota
CCHA R-U vs. Clarkson
 
But then again, it's speculation, and its fun, but we'll know for sure at
9:15 EST tonight.
