Quint has 'em at 6 and IL at 7. Maybe it's your opinion that's "laughable."

He is welcome to his opinion, BUT when you beat the #1 RPI team, have the #2 SOS, and are #6 RPI, I don't think my ranking them #5 is complete homerism.

I think Quints and the IL rankings kind of proved that.

Penn, Cuse, and ND next 3. I would think that are SOS would go to #1 after this gauntlet.

Hell In A Bucket. 15 seniors and grad students with talent and experience on all 3 levels. Goalie has been outstanding. They've won 2 PL regular seasons in a row, won a PL playoff and beaten Army 3 times in a row.

Fun team to watch when they're on. Face off dot is the Achilles Heel. Colletti went 17 for 26. BU wins by 5. Yale and Duke are also excellent on X so uphill battle.

Regardless, PL is won by the 1 or 2 seed. Winning 3 games in 5 days is a big ask.

BU v Army will determine the sole PL rep in the tournament. Too bad because both could win games.

Sincere question on how this metric works. Georgetown has played 8 games. As per this metric, they have wins over #s 1, 6, 9, 20,21 and 36. Losses are to 5 and 18. Does the 18 loss and 36 win carry more weight than the quality wins and losses?

Maybe, but they just beat the #1 RPI team, and are currently #6 RPI, and #2 SOS. Pretty good resume, so far.

I agree that #5 seems a bit high, but not egregious. Though it is hard for me to take the RPI argument seriously when I find RPI to be such a laughable metric.

Icgrad,

I absolutely agree about RPI as the all worldly metric, BUT it seems to drive the selection committee. As long as Cornell stays high in that metric, I have less of a feeling that the committee can screw us over again.
