The Pre-Tournament Computer Rankings look very similar to the pre-Ivy and Patriot Finals but some differences. Besides some teams moving spots, we’ve added asterisks to signify that a team is still playing. Also, Winning %, Strength of Schedule, Best Win, and Simplified RPI. And, after looking at the chart…

  1. Automatic Qualifiers are a good thing and… It’s also a not so good thing. Hard to look at the entire list and see who’s actually playing.
  2. Based on Ws and Ls, Syracuse is out. But it’s doubtful that the committee will base their decision on Ws and Ls.
  3. Based on SRPI (Simplified RPI – No adjustments for home and away, Wins against Top 5, Top 10, Top 20, Etc.), Cornell is out.
  4. Based on Best Wins, Cornell is out.

In conclusion, from where we’re sitting, Cornell is out.
