Well it looks like there has been an infinite percentage increase in
games between the established leagues and the MAAC. :-)
 
Seriously, perusing the schedules that are up on USCHO, it looks like
some teams have scheduled games vs the MAAC teams, but most haven't.
As you probably know already RPI is playing Quinnipiac and Holy
Cross in the upcoming year.  By the way the PWR rating is calculated,
playing and beating a top MAAC team can be very beneficial.  On the
other hand, losing to a poor one could be disastrous.  I am still
trying to decide if RPI scheduled these two teams because they
expected them to be at the top of the MAAC or that is just how things
fell out.
