The Selection Committee did an outstanding job with this year's selections. As I earlier predicted, Lake State goes East as #3 and Minnesota stays West. Comley stated that he avoided as much as possible matchups in regionals between league rivals. Only one possible matchup with two league teams exists if Lake State is upset by Cornell setting up Vermont-Cornell before the Final Four. Michigan had higher PWR rating than Vermont and Lake State higher than Minnesota so Michigan and Minnesota paired and Vermont-Lake State. The PWR ratings should have Mass-Lowell ahead of Michigan State since Lowell wins tiebreaker head-to-head with MSU despite tied in PWR ratings. Lowell had last 20 and teams under consideration and State only had RPI. No head-to-head or common opponents. Lowell gets #4 and MSU gets #5 for that reason making it clear why Western has #4 East and Clarkson #5 East. #6 East Cornell in Albany because of better fan base and stronger PWR rating than #6 West Providence.
