Here is where my options begin to thin. The only team in the East that is eligible for me to pick is Colby. Given the way they've been playing lately, it's a tempting pick and not outside the realm of possibility. However, I think Geneseo is the clear favorite, especially on home ice.
On the other hand, all four Western teams are eligible for me to pick. Adrian-UWSP is a toss-up, whereas SNC is probably the biggest favorite of the weekend. So in that sense, SNC should be an easy pick. However, SNC is my pick to win the whole thing. So if I pick them then I'll have to pick against them in the Frozen Four (the only other option would be Colby - if they win, which I already said I doubt).
So what am I to do? I made it this far by taking it one week at a time. It would be folly to change a winning strategy this late in the game.
