Quarterfinal rooting interests

The 3 Laws are:

Never bet against Clarkson in the RS or for them in the playoffs.
Never bet for Cornell in the RS or against them in the playoffs.
Never bet for or against RPI under any circumstances.

Has the Clarkson one always been the first one?

I didn't remember, so I didn't number them.

I think it's actually this:

First Law: Never bet for Cornell in the RS or against them in the playoffs.
Second Law: Never bet against Clarkson in the RS or for them in the playoffs.
Third Law: Never bet for or against RPI under any circumstances.

Zeroth Law: Harvard sucks.

Cogito ergo Harvard sux.

...win or lose a lot of us will have fun. In the end that's what it's all about for me.

Hey Trotsky, if you're going to get into canon this is when canon dictates someone say "Jerk" - not when a guy gets all (even pretend) jerky. Jeez.

NB: Don't do it, person who is about to do it. Resist.

I thought it was understood that everyone posting here is a jerk simply by posting here.

Using KRACH, it's the KRACH rating and not the RRWP that should be used in the calculation.  Quinnipiac is 376.3 and Cornell is 118.2.  So Q's chance of winning each game (per KRACH) is 376.3/(376.3+118.2)=76.1%.  Our chances of winning the series using KRACH then compute to 14.4%.  That being said, it is not impossible.    6 to 1 underdogs can win.  Let's Go Red.

Really?  OK.  I did a quick google search that day to remind me of how to do it and either I misread it in my haste (I try not to spend too long doing these things at work) or the place I was reading had it wrong.

They didn't lose in 56....

That's because they wussed out of the playoffs.

... which is why I hope Rich S. is lurking.

Trivia question:

Where did Clarkson's undefeated team stay during the 1956 championship series held in Colorado Springs?

The odds just got a lot better.

20 combined ECAC final four appearances among this year's teams: Brown (9), Yale (6), Union (3), Quinnipiac (2).

AC attendance is likely to be... sparse.

3 combined ECAC titles.  To put that in perspective, BU has 5 ECAC titles and their last one was 2 months after Jimmy Carter's inauguration.

Since RPI last made it to championship weekend, the venue has changed three times (including the impending move back to LP).

A good omen for us.
