Yeah, we wouldn't be any better, but Yale wouldn't be number 1.
Seeding committees should consider quality losses, too, as would be the case of Cornell-Yale Round I but not Jets-Patriots Round II.

Yale may be No. 1, but their fans still suck. They didn't even sell out their game Sunday afternoon against Union.

All true but I think this year I'm buying tickets in advance. It took 20 minutes to scrounge up 2 outside Ingalls last year, although one turned out to be free (the advantage of wearing a Cornell jersey).

Anyway I think Yale is a placeholder for someone out West who goes on a December-early January tear.

As expected when I saw Al's post: a lot of fans with limited access to spell/grammar-checking who are upset that their teams aren't #1. Unspoken is the greater annoyance that not only will these Ivy League twits rise to control the business world upon graduation, but now they're atop the college world, too.

A couple lucid posts such as this:
Quote from: redgopherMr. Weasel, don't be to quick to make that assumption [Yale #1 only b/c of soft schedule] until you have seen Yale Play, I grew up watching hockey in Minnesota, and this Yale Team is one of the strongest Offensively skilled teams I have seen in the last 45 years of watching college hockey. I don't know what your experience is, but I have been to alot of college games and have seen alot of hockey over the years.

We were all warned back in Sunday School what would happen (John 12:40), ""He hath blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts." It's worse for those who are strict grammarians. There and their seems to be a continuing difficulty and its / it's approaches less than random outcome (grammar meets anti-matter). But it's page views. Doubleclick has been served.

Certainly a very clear contrast in playing styles.

Here's a quote from Trotsky on September 28: "I just hope people aren't going apeshit by January if we're around .500 in conference, saying "this is a top 10 team, why are we so mediocre!?" This is probably one of the least experienced teams in the last 20 years when talking about guys in major roles returning. This should be a fun year discovering what we have to look forward to 2-3 years down the road, not a year of constantly smashing our heads against the wall because they haven't already arrived."

Two thoughts:

Geez, this guy is scarily prophetic.
Thanks for putting this season into perspective...doesn't make it any easier, though...

Cornell surges with a four-point weekend on the road and the voters apparently want to see more. At least Harvard isn't doing any better. Among ECAC teams:

Looks like Cornell will host two ranked teams this weekend.
