Pairwise Monday: Breaking down the bubble teams (#504)

Today’s issue breaks down the Pairwise after the final weekend of games before college hockey hit the holiday break. Specifically, we’ll look at the teams on the bubble (15-20) and which ones have the best chance to break through into an at-large qualifying position and why.

This issue (#504) 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.

• Boston College’s AD shot down reports that they offered big money to Michael. Misa.

• The latest commitments, including an OHL forward to RIT and a 6-5 goalie committing to Omaha.

• Notes on Northeastern’s new arena proposal and the NCAA expanding the men’s basketball tournament.

• 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.
