but it'll take more than one respectable year in 10 for me to respect the EZAC. That was the league's first frozen four appearance since 2003. One good year doesn't un-make them the Big East football of college hockey

We were #10 going into the PSU weekend then went 1-1, stayed at #10, then got pretty well clubbed by Minnesota...and still stay at #10.
Let's just get swept by PSU on purpose this weekend to see if we stay at #10 at 14-11-3. (Which btw, 14-9-3 is a pretty ugly looking record right about now)

Two MA teams in the Northeast should be able to carry that regional in attendance.
A Michigan-ND matchup is almost too good to pass up. And it can now happen in a regional since they aren't in the same conference.

Your Pairwise rankings are a little wonky... USCHO has Vermont at #13 and Cornell/Notre Dame slid down.

Doesn't change much about the bracket besides the placement of the 4-seeds.
