CC wins Dartmouth wins MSU mankato wins Mercyhurst wins michigan wins and either cornell or ohio state wins if that happens Providence will be in # 1 seeds will be CC, Cornell, UNH and either maine or minnesota # 2 seeds will be BU, Ferris state, maine/minnesota, and BC/michigan # 3 seeds are wide open BC/michigan and 3 of (ohio state, mankato, north dakota, harvard) # 4 seeds will be the MAAC team, Wayne State, one of (ohio state, mankato, north dakota, harvard) and (believe it or not) St. Cloud or providence (most likely St. cloud) so i count 1 MAAC 1 CHA 2 ECAC 3 CCHA 4/5 HE 5/5 WCHA number of scenarios in which pwr rank is 1-15 team 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Colorado College 96 32 Cornell 32 51 29 16 New Hampshire 13 67 48 Maine 64 16 32 16 Boston University 112 16 Minnesota 32 32 48 16 Ferris State 32 96 Boston College 96 32 Michigan 32 96 Ohio State 32 46 18 18 4 10 MSU-Mankato 8 29 33 58 North Dakota 18 41 45 24 Harvard 24 40 32 28 4 St. Cloud State 14 111 3 Providence 3 125 charlie shub University of Colorado at Colorado Springs [log in to unmask] http://cs.uccs.edu/~cdash (719) 262-3492 (fax) 262-3369
