Bracketology

Since I took the last couple weeks off from Bracketology, there is likely to be a lot of movement this week.

Once again, the four regions are St. Paul, Ft. Wayne, Albany and Worcester. Regional hosts have to play in the regional in which they host. Also, intraconference matchups are avoided in the first round, unless 5 or more teams from a conference make the tournament. Let’s get to it.

St. Paul

1. Denver

2. Bemidji State

3. Alaska

4. RIT

Ft. Wayne

1. Miami

2. North Dakota

3. Michigan State

4. Ferris State

Albany

1. Wisconsin

2. Boston College

3. New Hampshire

4. Minnesota-Duluth

Worcester

1. St. Cloud State

2. Yale

3. Vermont

4. Northern Michigan

This week’s bracket broke down fairly easily for me. Denver and Alaska go to St. Paul due to proximity, RIT goes there because they are the worst team in the bracket, and Bemidji stay due to proximity.

Northern Michigan is my last team in this week. Due to their bye in the CCHA playoffs I like their chances to make it to the Joe and win the requisite amount of games to get into the tournament.

My frozen four this week is: 1. Denver, 1. Miami, 1. Wisconsin and 2. Yale
