Wow. Are you sure this is for 2002?

There are six teams on this list who are not even on the radar to
just be considered for the NCAA tournament yet - North Dakota,
Wisconsin, Providence, Rensselaer, Minnesota-Duluth, and St. Lawrence.

There are three teams *not* on this list who are in contention to
make the tournament - Cornell, Northeastern, and Western Michigan
(Cornell & Northeastern would probably be in as of today).

I could go through all of the odds as to what team has a better chance,
but we'd be here all day. For example, Union (ranked 24th in the PWR) at
the moment has a better chance of just making the NCAA tournament
than the 60/1 Rensselaer and 100/1 St. Lawrence do.

Am I missing something or does someone in Vegas just pick these teams
from a craps table?
