Based upon everything that we know, and how we’ve transcribed it to our PWR calculator, this is what I believe as of Saturday going into the championship games.
Teams In (10):
Minnesota
Boston College
Union
Ferris State
Wisconsin
Quinnipiac
Massachusetts-Lowell
Notre Dame
St. Cloud State
Colgate
Autobids In (2):
AHA: Canisius/Robert Morris
NCHC: Miami/Denver
Must Win to Get In:
AHA: Canisius/Robert Morris
NCHC: Miami/Denver
HE: New Hampshire
Big Ten: Ohio State
ECAC: None
WCHA: None
Win and Definitely In, but can also go in At-Large:
WCHA: Minnesota State
Must win to be considered for at-large, but not definitely in:
NCHC: North Dakota
There are 12 of 16 spots taken up now, the teams eligible for those four open spots:
Providence
Minnesota State
Vermont
North Dakota
Michigan
New Hampshire
Ohio State
So Providence, Vermont, North Dakota and Michigan are hoping that Minnesota State, New Hampshire and Ohio State all lose, thereby upping its chances of getting into the tournament.
Have fun today!
