Mr. Weighart wrote a very interesting game recap, describing many important plays easily and accurately, but this portion is not correct, at least in terms of BU. Here's one scenario: 20020316 NM 2 MS 3 pr 20020316 OS 0 Mi 1 pr 20020316 Me 1 NH 2 pr 20020316 CC 1 SC 0 pr 20020316 DU 0 MN 1 pr 20020317 Mi 1 MS 0 pr 20020317 Ha 1 Cr 2 pr Note both DU and SC lose. The resulting brackets (might be): 5W Michigan (C) 6E AK-Fairbanks (C) 4W St Cloud (W) 3E Cornell (E) 1W New Hampshire (H)--+--2E Boston Univ (H) | 2W Minnesota (W) --+--1E Denver U (W) 3W Mich State (C) 4E Maine (H) 6W Mercyhurst (M) 5E CO College (W) (That I moved UNH and MH west is inconsequential to BU getting a bye in this scenario). cheers, wayne
