Whoa. I didn't expect the Northeat 10 to be mentioned. Honestly, I'm not going to complain about any additional team you include, it was just easy to say the "24". I didn't do a deep dive into who plays who, like you (impressively) do.
By what I'm reading, you could (and should?) just do a ACHA, the NE10, Development Program, etc. etc. on it's/their own.
*** I would say, though, Adrian College won the 2024 tournament and was runner-up in 2023 to Minot. So, I'd personally vote for them. ***
Thanks for responding.
