To further expound on this:
 
In order for Cornell to win the ECAC, they first must beat Clarkson as
Greg has said.
 
Secondly, if Cornell wins on Sat and Clarkson loses, Cornell wins the
ECAC.
 
If Clarkson wins and Cornell wins, Cornell wins the ECAC ONLY if
Vermont and Princeton are in the Top4, and Harvard is in the Top 8.
 
I think that's it in a nutshell.
