Pairwise Monday: Hockey East has seven teams in a qualifying position (#513)

This week’s Pairwise picture is one of the craziest we’ve seen in a while. Hockey East currently has seven teams in qualifying positions, which could make the committee's decisions interesting.

Even more impressive, only one of those seven teams is currently a No. 4 seed.

I have more Pairwise notes, including a deeper look at Hockey East, why I’m still not sleeping on Wisconsin, and St. Cloud State’s recent fall.

Also in this issue (#513):

• 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.

• AIC coach Eric Lang has announced a first-of-its-kind showcase for transfer students.

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