Providence went 7-11-4 against "Teams Under Consideration" (basically potential tournament teams) while Yale, who was the lowest at large, went 10-10-3. There's nothing garbage about it, this is a tournament that has to select teams from a number of different leagues, you can't put in teams based off of a single playoff series.

Providence was 17th in the pairwise rankings and dropped 6 spots after beating UNH in the best of 3. I'm sorry but that is shady as ####.
Also what is the point of a playoff if you can lose and still advance? It's stupid.
They need to get their crap together and have 4 conferences rather than 5 and keep it simple and have the 4 conference champions meet in the frozen 4
