Plus, the series this weekend is in Omaha. If Cornell prevails on Friday night I'll be more concerned than I already am about the Mavs.
    So because one team has played games already this season, they can't lose?? Or because the other team hasn't played a game they can't win??? I guess Cornell - and the rest of the Ivies - are in for a long, winless season since all of their opponents have already played. Maybe all those posters noticed that UNO lost to Bentley at home, a team that is rarely thought much of. A team that is 1-4.

              I just think that'll be at least something of a factor on Friday night. Bentley and UNO had both played one exhibition game when they squared off. Not an apples-to-apples comparison of the Cornell/UNO situation at all.

              4 games played versus no games played is significant in my book in the case of Cornell vs. UNO.

              Note that I held open the door that UNO might lose, anyway, on Friday. They have not looked good at all, IMHO.

                Because that same situation really affected Big Red last year when they opened with 3 wins. The first two against a CC team with 4 games under their belt. They were 3-1, with their only loss coming to UMass-Lowell. And we all know how well Lowell did last year. Looking at the past 5 years, Cornell is more likely to start without a loss in their first three than they are to open with a single loss.

                  We still have quite a few people who haven't picked yet this week, so just a reminder that your picks need to be in by 7:00pm Eastern TONIGHT!!

                  Also, I'm not one to nitpick somebody's predictions, but I do find it interesting is that at least part of Red Cows logic stems from the fact that Omaha is at home tonight, yet Red Cows then proceeds to pick the road team in 8 of the 10 games. I just found that interesting. Either way, the point in this thread is to have fun, so good luck to the Mavs this week Red Cows, and good luck with the rest of your picks.

                    You're forgetting the very important fact that Cornell doesn't suck nearly as much as UNO does...

                      UNO pretty much sucks, that is the main reason people are picking Cornell. Who the hell loses to Bentley at home...
