Polls and NPI 2026

How about we simply do not lose bad games? I think that will do wonders.

We'll almost certainlty lose at least one bad game.  ALMOST everybody does.

For sure, realism is absolutely a thing and it's way more likely than not we cough up an extra game or two. On paper, though, the biggest "trap" games on the docket are Princeton and Clarkson. Besides the Q game, we can absolutely sweep the rest of the regular season.

You're not implying that we can't sweep including Q, are you?

We can absolutely win Q. I would like to. But they match us well and it's not the game I would bet on us to win 😅

Speaking of NPI, Harvard winning bronze bumped us from 56.11 to 56.17 in the NPI, I'm pretty sure.

Also bumped Dartmouth .06   -  Q hasn't played them twice so they got a smaller increase.

BU on track to lose this. That would drop us to 56.14. If BU manages to come back and win this, we go up to 56.19. It's all so marginal.

Just gotta play them one game at a time.

And the good lord willing...

Just for completeness, since I said this in the other thread—the important thing here was BC losing which would hurt their NPI, more so than BU winning (barely) helping ours.
