Boston University won the Beanpot on Monday night. The win boosted the Terriers to No. 6 in the Pairwise rankings, making them a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament as of this evening.

We’re getting to our Pairwise newsletter a little later this week. I wanted to wait until after the Beanpot games on Monday night, and I’m glad I did because BU’s win completely changed the top half of the bracket.

Today’s issue (#525) also includes

  • Our weekly look at the inter-conference records of each conference.

  • We have some fun and put together a meaningless bracketology for people to get excited (or upset) about.

  • Pairwise takeaways, including why the “bubble” is shrinking by the week.

  • NCAA Tournament locks and “virtual locks.”

  • OUR NEXT MAILBAG WILL BE POSTED ON WEDNESDAY! Send in your submissions if you have any (see below).

  • If you have ideas for a future newsletter, tips you want to share, mailbag submissions, or if you want to sponsor a future newsletter, please email mike@collegehockeyinsider.com.

    — I'm also @MikeMcMahonCHN on Twitter.
