Hi All:
 
Actually if the world were flat one could see from Boston to Anaheim and
only need a telescope to see the NCAAs (esp if the games were in the
Crystal Cathedral rather than the Pond :-) .... the fact that there exists
a horizon means the world is not flat.... so, if we look at the weak
numbers for the ECAC, that means they are the strongest conference, using
that logic, right?  :-)
