RPI is 1-1 with Harvard, they've lost to Yale and face them next weekend, and
they're 1-1 with Clarkson.  However, I really don't see how CU could take
second place since RPI is playing Yale next week, and as far as I know Yale
is right now in third place with Brown in second.  RPI is  also 1-1 against
Brown.  If RPI ties one game this weekend, they clinch second place.  If Yale
does beat RPI, then I would assume that they would be a clinch for second or
third, depending on how Brown does, since they would play Union at home on
Saturday night.  Brown is playing quite well right now and they have a good
chance at second should RPI stumble and lose both games this weekend.
 
So, Bri, I hate to disappoint you, but barring a MAJOR upset by Union over
Yale, I would have to say that Yale would beat out Clarkson for second place if
the situation arose.  I know that Yale has tied Harvard and beaten RPI once,
but I'm not sure how they've fared against Clarkson.  If CU has beaten them
twice then I suppose Clarkson stands a remote shot at second.  I guess I need
to check the head-to-head tables.
 
BTW, allow me to correct an error in my previous post.  I said RPI would
clinch second place with a tie.  I'm not sure if that is the case.  I know
they would clinch with a win, but I need to check the h2h to be certain that
they would clinch 2nd with a tie.
