In the first installment of Bracketology for 2012, Jayson Moy finds he has to move around some games between No. 1 seeds and No. 4 seeds.

Finally we have a bracket and finally I nailed the bracket on the money. But, this one was relatively easy to gather from all the information out there. I think the committee walked into the room and five minutes later they were finished. I have no complaints at all.  The process worked exactly like the … Read more

Our field is set. Air Force and Rensselaer get the final two spots. The teams in the field: Yale North Dakota Boston College Miami Michigan Merrimack Denver Union Minnesota-Duluth Western Michigan Notre Dame Nebraska-Omaha New Hampshire Colorado College Rensselaer Air Force There you have it. Bracket prediction to come.

With Michigan and Dartmouth’s wins in the third-place games, the picture becomes very clear. There’s one spot left, as UNO and CC have now clinched their places in the tournament. It comes down to Cornell or Rensselaer. A Cornell win puts the Big Red into the tournament, a Cornell loss puts Rensselaer into the tournament.

Let’s get on to the nitty gritty shall we? Here is what I believe: Yale, North Dakota, Boston College, Miami, Denver, Merrimack, Michigan, Union, Minnesota-Duluth, Notre Dame, Western Michigan, New Hampshire and either RIT or Air Force  are all in. That’s 13 teams. There are three spots left out there, and those three spots will … Read more

With Bemidji State losing, that collective sigh of relief you heard came from Nebraska-Omaha, Rensselaer, Boston University and Maine. One less chance of someone outside the Top 16 getting an autobid. Perhaps a few more sighs coming in the next hour or two after Colgate and Northeastern results.

After two WCHA games on Thursday night, here is basically what happened.  Colorado College bolstered its chances of getting into the tournament, in turn dampening the spirits of Maine, Boston University, Rensselaer and Nebraska-Omaha (in that order).  Bemidji State winning makes everyone’s hearts jumps because Bemidji can take away on of those Top 15 spots. … Read more

Thanks to Brass Bonanza, we have to take UNH out of the “in” column and put UNH on the bubble. Here’s what Brass Bonanza came up with: Atlantic Hockey Semifinal #2: Air Force defeats Holy Cross Semifinal #1: RIT defeats Connecticut Championship game: RIT defeats Air Force CCHA Semifinal #2: Miami defeats Notre Dame Semifinal … Read more
