(#381) Looking at "locks" to make the NCAA Tournament, this week's bracket, and more CHL/NCAA talk
College Hockey News ran its first Pairwise Probability Matrix, which, along with other projection tools, can help us determine which teams are "locks" to make the NCAA Tournament even with a month left before the selection show.
This issue also has my latest bracket projection and Pairwise tracker.
Lastly, I have a response to reporting last night that the CHL/NCAA talk is a "dead issue." I don't believe it is, and I stand by my reporting from two weeks ago. It's not a certainty, either. I'll explain.
