With only two games left most positions have been set, but UW, UM, and SCSU are battling for final position. ND and DU hang in the balance. If St. Cloud loses to Minnesota on Sunday they will tie North Dakota with 31 points for fifth place, the fifth seed and home site between the two teams will be determined by the tie breakers, I do not know who wins this one. If Wisconsin beats Michigan Tech on Sunday afternoon they will tie Denver with 38 points for second place. Wisconsin would be the second seed under these conditions as UW had a 3-1 record against DU this year. Likewise if UW/UM end up tied (UW tie/UM win or UW loss/UM tie) DU takes second outright and Minnesota is the third seed by virtue of holding a 3-1 record over Wisconsin this season.
