Currently 12. First round vs. St. Cloud in Cincinnati before changes for attendance.

And I don't see any attendance changes moving us east.  If they swapped us with Notre Dame (Bridgeport) it would put us against Quinny.  The only attendance move is Michigan to Cincinnati and Vermont to Bridgeport.

Good news:  It'll change 25 times between now and Selection Sunday.

so when it comes to Minneapolis, you're saying there's still a chance???

Sadly, yes.

Edit:  And it's changed already!  Michigan's Sunday afternoon win over tOSU moves them to 12th and shoves everyone else down a slot.  We're now 13 and will have to move to Worcester to avoid Northeastern or Vermont playing BC.

We need to figure in one or maybe two losses en route to the NCAAs: two wins or two out of three against Clarkson (most likely) and then an uphill game against Union in the ECAC semis Friday. Magic could happen and we run the table in the ECACs; anything seems possible after the Harvard comeback.

But if Ferris beats Mankato in the WCHA tournament, then Northeastern is in and we go to Worcester.

There's a sale at Pennys!

If Vermont beats UMass tonight they should move ahead of us (ignoring others results) dropping us to 14.   If they lose they are probably done for the year as the Hockey East first round is single elimination.

Crap! UVM wins 2-1, scoring the winning goal with about a minute left.

[Trotsky]

Right now on CHN we are 13, one ten-thousandth of a point above UVM.
