Not all that nuts. ;-)  There's a virtual tie for places 9-12 (including
Lowell), so any movement between those places is just noise.

As for playing PC ... Maine treads Heal water with 2 wins, but loses
ground with anything else.

As for playing BC ... Maine treads Heal water (small decrease) with a
tie and a loss, but gains with anything better, but not enough to be
slung into Heal contention for top 14.  However, ...

For what it's worth, if Maine wins out the regular season and all other
things being equal, Maine easily makes the NCAA tournament with the
rankings I calculate ... and well they should!  (Note: I don't do PWR
... and that's the one that will be used by the NCAA).

cheers, wayne
