Each week Jason Moy of USCHO.com breaks down the projected NCAA tournament field based on the current Pairwise rankings. Its a rather pointless exercise because the rankings fluctuate wildly from week to week. But its fun for fans to speculate and there's no question that if the season ended today DU fans would be doing cartwheels in celebration.West Regional - Colorado Springs
Northeastern vs. Denver
Providence vs. Colorado College
Midwest Regional - Madison, WI
Wisconsin vs. New Hampshire
Minn.-Duluth vs. Michigan State
East Regional - Worchester, MA
RIT vs. Miami
Clarkson vs. Notre Dame
Northeast Regional - Albany, NY
Bemidji State vs. Michigan
Boston College vs. North Dakota

If USCHO's Bracketology hold correct, That Northeast Region is a killer. North Dakota/BC is a marquee game wothry of a Frozen Four (F4) Semi-Final. Bemidji State, a team that can (and has)flat out skate with the best of the WCHA, would give Slow-footed CCHA Michigan nightmares.
The NCAA is desperate for CC or DU to get into the F4 and would love a matchup of those teams in the springs.
Where is Minnesota? Ha, Ha. Garth Snow was right. Don't forget that many a hockey pundit choose them to win the WCHA Regular Season (USCHO picked them #2).
Prediction: Regardless of their region, Miami will fall in the regionals despite a No. 1 seed.
Good points.
I really want DU to avoid teams like Michigan State and BC in the Regionals.
Best thing for DU to do is keep winning and hope for the best.
Michigan would kick the shit out of BSU.
And UND-BC? Yikes!
