Ok so here is round 3 at my shot at the NCAA tourny field. I plan on to keep taking shots until the field is announced on March 20th 11:30et. Ok so as of today here is how I see the field shaking out for field of 16...
1-16 seeding
1. Yale- just don't see them losing enough games against the ECAC teams. Their only two remaining regular season games are against #27 Cornell and #53 Colgate. They move into the ECAC tournament with only four losses in conference so I don't expect enough for them to fall out of the #1 seed.
2. North Dakota- I think the Fighting Sioux win the WCHA tournament and lock up the #2 overall seed.
3. Boston College- I hate these bastards but they still have a solid chance at winning HE regular season along with the HE tournament.
4. Denver- I know Merrimack is here now but I just see them dropping one this weekend up at Alfond and one again at some point in the HE tournament.
5. Merrimack- read above bitches
6. Minnesota-Duluth- I see ChrisCo's brother and company finishing #6 overall and a 2 seed in the tourny
7. Michigan-
8. Nebraska-Omaha- These streaky bastards get hot at the end of the season and grab the last 2 seed.
9. Notre Dame
10. UNH- The University of No Hardware takes #3 seed in the tournament for the third year in a row.
11. Union
12. Miami- The runners up in 2009 try once again to find that title. With any goaltending they have a great chance of getting there.
13. Wisconsin- The runners-up from last year get a second shot at the title but as a 4 seed this year after losing two to Nebraska-Omaha late in the year
14. RPI- I hate this team. They think they are so much better than they are for winning in the EZAC.
15. BU- Our Terriers run the table in the regular season and the HE quarters before losing in the HE semis and grabbing the last at large bid.
16. RIT(Atlantic Hockey Winner)
This would result in the following bracket:
East Regional(Bridgeport,CT)
1. Yale(1) vs. 4.RIT-Yale takes the number one overall seed and gets the cupcake Atlantic Hockey Champion
2 Nebraska-Omaha vs. 3. Notre Dame - Streaky Nebraska-Omaha get Andy Lee and co in the first round before a possible showdown with Yale
Northeast(Manchester,NH)
1. Boston College(3) vs. 4 RPI -Good news here as one of the teams I hate has to lose and go home and cry
2. Minnesota-Duluth vs 3 UNH - Good news is UNH once again gets the home regional...bad news is BC is in it and there is no way those choke artists up in Durham beat BC.
Midwest(Green Bay, Wisconsin)
1. North Dakota(2) vs. 4. BU- Out Terriers sneak in and as a result get the very good Fighting Sioux in the first round
2. Michigan vs 3 Union- Michigan puts Union away here easily...
West(Saint Louis,Missouri)
1 Denver(4) vs. 4 Wisconsin- This should be quite the showdown in the first round
2 Merrimack vs 3 Miami- Miami's offense lights up Merrihack in their first ever NCAA tournament
Frozen Four Predictions- I am feeling daring enough to take my predictions a little bit further today...
West - Miami(OH)
Midwest-Michigan
East- Notre Dame
Northeast- Minnesota-Duluth
Final- Minnesota-Duluth vs. Michigan
Champion- Michigan wins to get legendary coach Red Berenson his 3rd career NC in his record 21st straight tournament appearance.
