However, you are absolutely correct in that there are at least four games we must win first.

I prefer four but we can get there with as little as 2 more wins actually.

Come to think about it, DrD... I wouldn't be surprised if Colgate and Harvard were to put forth good efforts. I know they don't have much of an effect, but maybe they would be thinking, "Do we REALLY want to face *insert team here* in the first round?! Would it be better to face *insert another team here*?"

I agree completely-wa just tossing out one of my thoughts for discussion. As i type this harvard is up on Brown 2-0 as Brown continues to play poorly.

How do you figure? If Rensselaer does not win a game this weekend, they cannot finish in the Top 4, and therefore cannot make it to AC with just two wins since they would have to play in the pre-quarters. It's possible (not likely, but still possible) that they can make the semis with only 3 wins, though.

If RPI gets two ties this weekend and either DC or Cornell loses both games, we get a bye and need only two wins. Unlikely, but possible.

Edit: Add Princeton loses to Union, so we don't have to worry about tiebreakers.

You bested me at my own game, Ralph. Well done.

One tie is all we need I think. We tie Princeton, Union beats them and DC loses both games while Cornell wins. I think that puts us 4th.

On the chance we don't make the first round bye, is there a team you think we'd rather face in the first round, between Colgate, Harvard, SLU, and Brown (assuming Clarkson and QPac don't drop that far)?

I will play any of those teams as long as we don't have to play them on Friday night.
If we have to play on a Friday night, than I will take Brown.

I want to thank our internet provider for deciding to kill our connection here at the secret underwater lair without giving any advance notice at 10:30 for "maintenance," then lied to me over the phone when they said they'd have it back up in time for the podcast. It's still out. Looks like our window has closed and the podcast is canceled today.
