if michigan wins tomorrow, i'd throw my hands up in despair if state wins I'd bracket as follows in ann arbor in worcester Maine Boston University St Cloud Quinnipiac Michigan State-----------------------Denver | | Minnesota----------------------------New Hampshire michigan Colorado College cornell Harvard The top 4 are unh denver gophers msu Because i believe it is important not to have conference matchups, i'd reorder the by seeds as unh denver msu gophers so that if the favorites advance we don't get a rematch of the wcha championship CC has to fly anyway, so i'd send them east. Now I need to send 2 teams west. Ithaca is 302 miles from worcester and 449 from ann arbor, so that one makes sense. Then the only other reasonable choice to go west would be maine. The matchups this way are 1-8-12 2-5-11 3-9-10 4-6-7 seeding strictly by the numbers yields UNH - (cc-cornell) Denver - (st cloud - michigan) gophers - (maine-quinnipiac) msu - (bu-harvard) ----- ---- ----- ----- ------- ---------------- --- --- 1 New Hampshire 38 80.26 84.38 (15- 5- 3) 71.74 62.39 26 2 Denver 40 81.25 65.62 (10- 6- 0) 62.50 62.58 25 3 Minnesota 41 75.61 75.00 ( 7- 5- 2) 57.14 62.39 24 4 Michigan State 41 76.83 81.25 (12- 4- 5) 69.05 60.74 23 5 Boston University 37 71.62 71.88 (13- 9- 2) 58.33 59.91 21 6 Maine 40 66.25 71.88 (13- 8- 6) 59.26 58.82 21 7 St. Cloud 41 73.17 59.38 ( 6- 7- 1) 46.43 59.47 19 8 Colorado College 41 67.07 71.88 ( 8- 7- 0) 53.33 58.24 19 9 Cornell 33 75.76 84.38 ( 7- 7- 0) 50.00 57.93 19 10 Michigan 42 65.48 75.00 (12- 8- 4) 58.33 57.13 18 23 Quinnipiac 37 60.81 75.00 ( 4- 5- 4) 46.15 50.41 4 24 Harvard 33 51.52 46.88 ( 5- 8- 3) 40.62 49.93 3 charlie shub University of Colorado at Colorado Springs [log in to unmask] http://cs.uccs.edu/~cdash (719) 262-3492 (fax) 262-3369
