The way Jayson Moy breaks it down this week, Minnesota, Wisconsin and North Dakota all would be in the West Regional in St. Paul, Minn.
Three weeks out, and we can build a better West Regional
In this week's edition of Bracketology, Jayson Moy sees Minnesota, Wisconsin and North Dakota playing in St. Paul.
Four weeks out, and either Michigan or North Dakota has to move East
This week's edition of Bracketology sees three intra-conference first-round games that need to be addressed.
Five weeks out, and a lot of moves make for good story lines
Putting two Minnesota teams and Wisconsin in the regional in St. Paul could make that an attractive tournament.
Six weeks out, and this bracket doesn’t need much work
As the brackets naturally shake out, Jayson Moy doesn't see a need to make any moves.
Seven weeks out, and there’s a path to a good bracket for geography
St. Cloud State can get moved to St. Paul, and Northeastern can stay in Massachusetts.
Eight weeks out, and intraconference matchups cause a headache
With five teams from both ECAC Hockey and Hockey East in the NCAA tournament bracket and host teams locked into a regional, things get tough this week.

The way Jayson Moy works out the bracket, there are four ECAC Hockey-Hockey East matchups in the first round.
10 weeks out, and Hockey East has a strong presence in the bracket
The first Bracketology for 2014 shows six Hockey East teams in the NCAA tournament field of 16.
