Going to try and keep this updated as much as possible. Remaining opponents in green need to be rescheduled. Rankings do not take into account the tie-breakers when needed.

The red is what they need to do to clinch. It is pretty late so it may not be 100% accurate. Feel free to correct me (but support your claim).

Really confusing for some reason, but here's some things I've figured out...

UNH definitely has the #1 seed. If they end up with 9 wins, only BC and NU can match them, but UNH beet them both.

Northeastern is at worst 7-3 so they can only be surpassed by UNH and BC so they clinch atleast the third seed.

Boston College....
1. If they lose all three games, they will get 3rd or 4th. 3rd if Stonehill loses atleast one, 4th if Stonehill wins both their games.
2. If they lose one or two of their last three games, it will depend on the head-to-head between NU and BC. Winner gets #2, loser #3.
3. If they win all three games, they will get #2

The rest is way too complicated. Be easier to figure out in the next couple days.
