We've talked about it for years, and it's finally happened!  The ECAC
had to use its infinite loop fix to break the fourth-place tie between
Cornell and Quinnipiac (which went down to record vs the top eight)
and the eighth-place tie among Colgate, RPI, and Yale (which went down
to record vs the top four):

One amusing note: if Cornell had beaten or tied Harvard, rather than
losing to them, the order of the top seven teams in the standings
would have been the same (Cornell would have finished alone in third
rather than winning the tiebreaker with Quinnipiac, and Harvard would
have finished alone in seventh, instead of losing the tiebreaker to
Princeton), but the three-way tie for eighth would have been broken

  8. Colgate
  9. Yale
10. RPI

rather than

  8. Colgate
  9. RPI
10. Yale

That's because the actual top four would have been available to break
the tie; Colgate would still have taken eighth with 5 points against
the top 4, but Yale and RPI have the same number of points (3) against
the top 4, and Yale has more points than RPI against the top 8 (13 vs
9).

But because Cornell and Quinnipiac were still tied for fourth (pending
determination of the top 8) when the tiebreaker was applied, it was
record vs the top 5 that mattered, and RPI's split with Quinnipiac
improved them to 5 points against the top 5, even with Colgate,
dropping Yale to 10th place.

So the outcome of the Cornell-Harvard game, while it didn't change the
final makeup of the top 4 or top 8, changed the outcome of the
RPI-Yale tiebreaker, switching 9th and 10th place.  But only because
they were part of a tie for 8th that triggered the infinite loop
tiebreaker.  Whee!
