The power rating tiebreaker scenarios were interpreted differently by Erik Biever and Tim Brule. Erik had Lowell ahead of MSU using the comparison between Lowell and MSU; and Tim went right to the RPI. I believe the Official Rating had Lowell ahead of MSU thus Lowell is #4 West, MSU #5 West, and Clarkson #5 East. Correct me if I am wrong but this is my hypothesis. ========================== Kenneth M.
