Things are a little tricky with this week’s version We\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2re again using the NCAA rankings<\/a>, but they’re a little out of whack because Castleton is out of the rankings <\/a>this week as a penalty for not reporting its scores to the NCAA on time. This not only affects the Spartans, but teams that have played them, since they are temporarily unranked.<\/p>\n

If the season ended today, the AQs would go to:<\/p>\n

ECAC East \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Norwich<\/p>\n

ECAC Northeast \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Mas-Dartmouth<\/p>\n

MIAC \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Bethel<\/p>\n

NCHA \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Wisconsin-River Falls (wins tiebreaker with St. Norbert and UW-Stout)<\/p>\n

NESCAC \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Bowdoin (wins tiebreaker with Middlebury)<\/p>\n

SUNYAC \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Oswego<\/p>\n

Using the PWR:<\/p>\n

The Pool B bid goes to Manhattanville, which is the top Pool B team in the PWR and is 3-0-1 in individual matchups over Neumann, the next closest Pool B team.<\/p>\n

Based on the rankings this week, I’m predicting that the Pool C bids at the moment go to St. Norbert, Neumann and UW-Stout right now, with a case also being made for UW-Superior (and a case will be made since the YellowJackets are hosting the D-III Frozen Four).<\/p>\n

That leaves us a field of (ranked by NCAA Rankings):<\/p>\n

East:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Oswego<\/li>\n
  2. Manhattanville<\/li>\n
  3. Norwich<\/li>\n
  4. Mass-Dartmouth<\/li>\n
  5. Neumann<\/li>\n
  6. Bowdoin<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    West:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. St. Norbert<\/li>\n
    2. UW-River Falls<\/li>\n
    3. UW-Stout<\/li>\n
    4. Bethel<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      This would mean the first round would be:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Bowdoin at Norwich<\/li>\n
      • Neumann at Mass-Dartmouth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Quarterfinals would be:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Bowdoin\/Norwich at Oswego<\/li>\n
        • Neumann\/Mass-Dartmouth at Manhattanville<\/li>\n
        • Bethel at St. Norbert<\/li>\n
        • UW-Stout at UW-River Falls<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Winners meet in Superior.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
