There are six conference championship games Saturday and 64 scenarios left for the final PairWise Rankings<\/a> based on the results of those games.<\/p>\n

Here’s what we know about who’s qualified for the NCAA tournament and what other teams need to do to make it.<\/p>\n

Here’s how these teams can get in<\/h4>\n

Cornell needs a victory by Boston University, St. Cloud State or Harvard.<\/p>\n

Merrimack can get in by winning the Hockey East championship game against BU or by getting a victory by St. Cloud State or Harvard.<\/p>\n

What seeds are decided?<\/h4>\n

Minnesota will be the No. 1 overall seed and Quinnipiac is locked into the No. 2 spot.<\/p>\n
