As a CHA fan and follower, I can see Niagara getting in, especially if they
can handle their next couple of games against RPI, Cornell and Colgate.  God
knows they certainly took it to my beloved Beavers.
 
By the way, only Army, Air Force and Niagara are eligible this year from the
CHA.  Bemidji State and Alabama-Huntsville are in their second year of their
probation and Findlay is in their first.  I will agree though that this
discussion could be interesting in January and February.
