Why do you say "as some people have said" ---- this is a fact --- this
isn't some rumor floating around. These are documented facts. That's
what they do ...
Now -- PWR continues through conference tournaments --- so they do have
a bearing. Playoff results have a lot to do with things.

No. Like with Vermont last year, when I emphatically stated they are
IN, period ... and some people refused to believe it ... Clarkson is in
(even though I admit I haven't checked the numbers -- I'll take the
gamble and go out on the limb --- logic tells me it's impossible to drop
from 6th to 10th at this point). Case closed.
