          SNC should really only be concerned with CSS this weekend.

              VPN + Sirius/XM online. If you can name my top six channels I'll give you a grand

              And there will be no shooting here. It's not like you tried to claim Winchester Cathedral was actually a good song or something. That...would have been a grave transgression.
              I wish I am able to live long enough to do all the things I was attributed to.

                  I think Winchester Cathedral is far superior to MacArthur Park. But back to selection discussion, please

                    I think we're marking time until Ranking #1 is released. Then people will be grabbing their KRACHs in disbelief.

                      No chance that the secret rankings will be leaked? Can the Russians help us on this?

                      What I have never understood about this is the recursive nature of Record vs. Ranked teams. When one team moves into the rankings and one team moves out, that metric changes, and perhaps the teams that just got kicked out will be able to move back in because of a better record against the newly ranked teams, then you recalculate, and so it goes. The only thing that actually would make sense is the old once ranked, always ranked approach. Then the rankings would be stable. The other approach that would be logical would be record against teams in the previous ranking. Record against currently ranked teams is mathematically problematical. It is possible that the ratings would converge if iterated several times, but it is also possible that it would end up in an infinite cycle. Why set this possibility up? The system is not well defined.

                              I agree that the team should only be concerned with CSS...but as a fan I am very interested in the Adrian/Concordia series as well.

                                By using FISHMATH 101 (ALA KRACH) we would have the following:

                                Current Pool A Bids By Standings
                                CCC NICHOLS
                                MASCAC PLYM ST
                                MIAC ST THOMAS
                                NCHA ADRIAN
                                NEHC NORWICH
                                NESCAC COLBY
                                SUNYAC OSWEGO

                                POOL B HOBART (higher KRACH over UWSP)

                                POOL C SNC
                                POOL C HAMILTON
                                POOL C ENDICOTT
                                POOL C UWSP

                                No Geneseo, No Buff State, No Utica, No Babson...obviously food for thought as this list will change (probably Sunday morning)
