We're under a week until Selection Sunday. So, we'll provide two brackets for perusal today. The first is what they look like given the current Pairwise Rankings; the second set is my personal guess after using the Pairwise Predictor tool to play out this weekend's conference tournaments.

As it stands now, we had to do some shuffling. Unlikely the committee places two ECAC and two Hockey East teams in the same bracket. We also think if Quinnipiac can be sent to Bridgeport, it will given the huge attendance-boost potential there. So, UMass Lowell gets shipped to Cincinnati and Wisconsin comes to Worcester, while Providence is pulled back to the Northeast and St. Cloud is sent to its home state.


BRIDGEPORT
3. Union vs. 14. Vermont
6. Quinnipiac vs. 11. Michigan

WORCESTER
2. Boston College vs. 15. Colgate
5. Wisconsin vs. 9. Providence

ST. PAUL
1. Minnesota vs. 16. Mercyhurst
8. Notre Dame vs.  10. St. Cloud State

CINCINNATI
4. Ferris State vs. 13. North Dakota
7. UMass-Lowell vs. 12. Minnesota State

And, here's what it looks like after my weekend prognosticating:
