I wonder how the ECAC (or is it NESN and Empire) decides which
games will be televised.  I suspect that they want to have it
balanced, as all the teams except Brown are scheduled at least
once.  However, these do not seem to be the most attractive
matchups based upon any criteria that I can think of.
 
There are no games scheduled to be broadcast between any of the
teams which were picked to be at or near the top in the recently
announced Coaches' Poll.  Besides for Clarkson-SLU, none of the
games are between travel partners.  Also, there is a grand total
of one Ivy league matchup.
 
Comparing the games to the Coaches' Poll, the matchups are 10-4,
9-1, 6-4, 3-12, 7-10, 11-5, and 2-11.  Only two of the games are
between teams picked to be less than six places from each other.
