Who are the hosts of the regionals this year? Is it BU in the East (Worcester) and Michigan in the West (Grand Rapids)? I just glanced at the PWR ratings on <http://www.uscollegehockey.com/pwr/pwr.cgi> and noticed that BU is currently 11th, fifth among the six eastern teams in the top 12. Ordinarily that sort of ranking would send them to the West Regional, but since they're hosting the Eastern one, they'd stay put, with the fourth-ranked Eastern team being sent out west. What is the fourth ranked Eastern team right now? Cornell (#9 overall). Well, turnabout is fair play... (Of course these mid-season rankings are a poor indicator of how things will wind up in the end, but it'd certainly by ironic if something like this ended up happening.)
