#2- N. Dakota 7-3 (+13)

There were really a lot of close games in this group, as even the double digit wins weren't as big as some of the games the top teams in other groups have won. Florida wins the group with a 9-1 record, and has a decent PD. They should be good for a top 20 seed. N. Dakota gets second place, helped by 2 narrow OT wins in the last 4 weeks. Their PD for the 7-3 second placed teams is by far the lowest. Pacific clinches third place and is in wildcard contention. They may be helped by the fact that of all the 5-5 teams, as of now their PD is significantly higher than the others.. but there are quite a few 6-4 and 7-3 teams ahead of them already. If they don't get a wildcard berth, you can be sure they will be looking back to that loss at Presbytarian. Niagara loses out on the tiebreaker to Pacific, Cornell was largely disappointing, and as mentioned earlier, Presbytarian may have played spoiler by keeping Pacific out of the round of 128. Also, their PD for last placed teams may be one of the better ones.
