It\u2019s finally that time of year where everyone is wondering what teams will make the NCAA men\u2019s Division I ice hockey tournament and, more so, where their favorite teams will likely be playing.<\/p>\n

Thus, we\u2019ll dust off the old column called Bracketology. Each week until selection Sunday, Jayson Moy and I try to give you some perspective on what the NCAA field will look like based on the current PairWise Rankings.<\/p>\n

(Note: today\u2019s column is written on Tuesday, February 22, before certain games were played. Thus, those results aren\u2019t factored into the PairWise we are using for this column).<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s begin with the basics: the 16 teams that would qualify for the tournament if the season ended today. Five of the six conferences are represented in the current PairWise, the one exception being Atlantic Hockey. Thus, we will include their top team, American international, as the number 16 team.<\/p>\n

Here is the current NCAA field:<\/p>\n

1. Michigan
\n2. Minnesota State
\n3. Denver
\n4. Western Michigan
\n5. Minnesota
\n6. North Dakota
\n7. Quinnipiac
\n8. Minnesota Duluth
\n9. Massachusetts
\n10. St. Cloud State
\n11. Notre Dame
\n12. Michigan Tech
\n13. Ohio State
\n14. Boston University
\n15. Connecticut
\n16. AIC<\/p>\n

With these 16 teams established, we\u2019ll try to keep in mind a number of things when seeding each region.<\/p>\n

\u2022 In an ideal world, the NCAA would like the number one seeds to play as close to home as possible. Right now, all four number one seeds are western teams and two regions (some could argue three when you consider the location of Allentown, Pa.) are located in the east. Thus, where each of the four number one seeds head is somewhat irrelevant.
\n\u2022 If there is a host team participating, they must be placed in their home region. Denver, hosting in Loveland, Colo., is the only host team right now. Thus Denver will play in Loveland.
\n\u2022 When possible, you should maintain bracket integrity (1 vs. 16, 2 vs. 15, etc.) as much as possible.
\n\u2022 Lastly, and most importantly, when possible you must avoid two teams from the same conference playing one another in the first round.<\/p>\n

We have often discussed attendance concerns for the regionals and while we believe that is always on the minds of the NCAA, we\u2019ve seen in recent years that maintaining bracket integrity is often just as, if not more, important.<\/p>\n

With all of that in mind, Jayson and I have each created our own brackets, with our rationale on how we each get to the end point included.<\/p>\n

Jayson\u2019s Bracket<\/h4>\n

Let me start out by putting everyone into bracket integrity. That means:<\/p>\n

1 Michigan
\n8 Minnesota-Duluth
\n9 Massachusetts
\n16 AIC<\/p>\n

2 Minnesota State
\n7 Quinnipiac
\n10 St. Cloud State
\n15 Connecticut<\/p>\n

3 Denver
\n6 North Dakota
\n11 Notre Dame
\n14 Boston University<\/p>\n

4 Western Michigan
\n5 Minnesota
\n12 Michigan Tech
\n13 Ohio State<\/p>\n

Looking at the brackets, there is no intra-conference matchups in the first round. So I am good.<\/p>\n

Now, I am going to place the brackets in the Regionals \u2013 as is.<\/p>\n

Denver has to go to Loveland. Plain and simple.<\/p>\n

Now we are left with Allentown, Worcester and Albany.<\/p>\n

Maximizing attendance, I will go for:<\/p>\n

Worcester: Michigan bracket<\/p>\n

Albany: Minnesota State bracket<\/p>\n

Allentown: Western Michigan bracket<\/p>\n

The only suspect bracket here becomes the Allentown bracket, as the attendance could be iffy. Would moving Michigan to Allentown help there? Not without sacrificing Worcester. Either way, one regional will get thrown to the wolves because of attendance.<\/p>\n

But, that is what I will stick with following the two simple rules of Bracket Integrity and Attendance.<\/p>\n

And for one more reason \u2013 host schools\/conferences. Denver we know about. The ECAC is hosting in Albany, it gets Quinnipiac. Holy Cross is hosting in Worcester, it gets AIC. And Penn State is hosting in Allentown, it gets Minnesota and Ohio State.<\/p>\n

It works out for me.<\/p>\n

Jim\u2019s Bracket<\/h4>\n

Basically, I seeded the tournament 1-16 in order sending the number one seeds as follows:<\/p>\n

1. Michigan (Allentown)
\n2. Minnesota State (Albany)
\n3. Denver (Loveland \u2013 host)
\n4. Western Michigan (Worcester)<\/p>\n

That yielded:<\/p>\n

Allentown
\n1. Michigan
\n2. Minnesota Duluth
\n3. UMass
\n4. AIC<\/p>\n

Albany
\n1. Minnesota State
\n2. Quinnipiac
\n3. St. Cloud State
\n4. UConn<\/p>\n

Loveland
\n1. Denver
\n2. North Dakota
\n3. Notre Dame
\n4. Boston Univ.<\/p>\n

Worcester
\n1. Western Michigan
\n2. Minnesota
\n3. Michigan Tech
\n4. Ohio State<\/p>\n

And here are the edits I made and the reasoning:<\/p>\n

First off, let\u2019s switch two matchups wholesale \u2013 take the Minnesota-Michigan Tech matchup and move it from Worcester to Allentown, swapping it for Minnesota Duluth and UMass. That gets UMass a lot closer to home to help with attendance in Worcester. Let\u2019s also switch Ohio State and Boston University, moving OSU to what likely becomes a default \u201call-west\u201d regional in Loveland and brings Boston University back to Worcester.<\/p>\n

That leaves us with:<\/p>\n

Allentown
\n1. Michigan
\n2. Minnesota
\n3. Michigan Tech
\n4. AIC<\/p>\n

Albany
\n1. Minnesota State
\n2. Quinnipiac
\n3. St. Cloud State
\n4. UConn<\/p>\n

Loveland
\n1. Denver
\n2. North Dakota
\n3. Notre Dame
\n4. Ohio State<\/p>\n

Worcester
\n1. Western Michigan
\n2. Minnesota Duluth
\n3. UMass
\n4. Boston University<\/p>\n

Sure, Allentown still has a major attendance concern but that will happen regardless given its location. What team in the field will help that region? I\u2019m not sure there is one.<\/p>\n

Now that the dust clears, here are the final brackets for each:<\/p>\n

Jayson\u2019s Bracket<\/h4>\n

Worcester
\n1. Michigan
\n2. Minnesota-Duluth
\n3. Massachusetts
\n4. AIC<\/p>\n

Albany
\n1. Minnesota State
\n2. Quinnipiac
\n3. St. Cloud State
\n4. Connecticut<\/p>\n

Loveland
\n1. Denver
\n2. North Dakota
\n3. Notre Dame
\n4. Boston University<\/p>\n

Allentown
\n1. Western Michigan
\n2. Minnesota
\n3. Michigan Tech
\n4. Ohio State<\/p>\n

Jim\u2019s Bracket<\/h4>\n

Allentown
\n1. Michigan
\n2. Minnesota
\n3. Michigan Tech
\n4. AIC<\/p>\n

Albany
\n1. Minnesota State
\n2. Quinnipiac
\n3. St. Cloud State
\n4. UConn<\/p>\n

Loveland
\n1. Denver
\n2. North Dakota
\n3. Notre Dame
\n4. Ohio State<\/p>\n

Worcester
\n1. Western Michigan
\n2. Minnesota Duluth
\n3. UMass
\n4. Boston University<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
