I think it's working now (at least it doesn't obviously crash).  PM or email jtw24 if you encounter any oddities.

Even if CLK were to say, lose to Harvard, and we ran the table until the finale, running the script confirmed that CLK would hold the tiebreaker if they beat us in the last game and we end up with the same points. The head-to-head would be a split, but CLK would have 1 more win.

Unless some weird thing happened where they pick up two or more ties on their way to that result.  If they go WTTW and we go WWWL, we'd even out the win total tiebreaker.

But they have a better record against the top four, so we'd need a very strange scenario where we pass them in wins.

I don't think that's possible to do while ending up tied with them in points, so yeah. As the script says, they win the tiebreaker if they win that game.

I saw him at FT during a showing of OAC.  He was very mean to AL.

As of now, chalk in the ECACs would be:

5 RPI > 12 SLU
6 Colgate > 11 Princeton
7 Dartmouth > 10 Union
8 Yale > 9 Brown

1 Cornell > 8 Yale
2 Clarkson > 7 Dartmouth
3 Quinnipiac > 6 Colgate
4 Harvard > 5 RPI

1 Cornell > 4 Harvard
2 Clarkson > 3 Quinnipiac

1 Cornell > 2 Clarkson

Simple solution: The Red runs the table. My extensive retrofitted steep grade analysis comparing offsides to attendance proves the Red Men have the talent to do so.

It will be interesting to look back at this after next weekend and see how it shapes up -- at least the final standings. I'm worried about our game at Yale tomorrow night. Yale has been inconsistent, but since tying St. Lawrence three weeks ago, has played well. It tied Harvard and beat Dartmouth on the road last weekend, and the previous weekend in lost to Q in OT. If we don't beat Yale, the finale against Clarkson might not mean anything except the difference between a No. 1 and No. 2 seed in the NCAAs (which is still important -- but no bearing on ECAC seeding).

I hope the ref with the broken whistle from last years ECAC final retired.
