It was far too late last night.  I forgot to add a couple of
disclaimers.

1) I am using .003, .002, and .001 as the bonus weights
2) the CHA and Atlantic Hockey champions are automatic qualifiers, so
   the projected AH winner is also a Team under consideration.
3) placings lower than 16 are not included, so there are, for example,
   128 scenarios where UVM finishes lower than 16th
4) my rpi value calculator does not (yet) implement
   "If a team defeats a weak opponent, it is possible for its RPI to
   go down despite the win. Starting in 2003-04, if this happens in a
   team's conference tournament, that game can be thrown out of the
   RPI calculation for that team."

   This adjustment impacts the RPI values for CC, Denver, Cornell,
   Michigan, and Dartmouth.

   It appears that this does make a difference in the ordering. I've
   noticed the difference in the three way comparisons between DU,
   Minnesota, and Cornell
