The first tie-breaker is head-to-head, and since Yale and Clarkson split, that
doesn't clinch it for the Elis. The second tie-breaker is the teams' record
against the top four in the conference. Yale wins most of the scenarios here,
but I did come up with one convoluted set of results that puts Dartmouth in the
top four along with RPI, and that would give Clarkson the better top four
record. So Yale cannot clinch the ECAC title by themselves this weekend...
Clarkson would have to falter.
