On a side note before I go to bed, #4 looks like our ceiling. Winning the conference, beating Denver, having UMD losing to North Dakota, having Michigan State, Michigan Tech, Air Force (teams WMU beat) and Quinnipiac winning theirs with Harvard losing in the semis still keep it at 4. There might be some other scenario to move up, but I doubt it.

I also looked at Western losing in the Semi's & the consolation game and all the other top ranked teams winning. Western slips to #7 in the PairWise.

So, looks like the possible range going into the NCAA Tourney is #4-7.

College Hockey News has a Pairwise Probability Matrix, there apparently exists some combination where we rise as high as #2 or fall as low as #9. But realistic final rankings are what you guys have stated, between #4 and #7.
