I wouldn't call your statement a *fact*. The *facts* are that
Plattsburgh had a winning percentage of .630 and a strength
schedule of .566, while Canisius had a winning percentage of .674
with a schedule strength of .519. Pretty close. In head to head play,
Plattsburgh won by a goal at home. Again, not enough IMHO to
determine who was the better team last year, much less state it as
fact.

His exact quote was:" The problem with this is that R.I.T. and
ELMIRA play those SUNY schools to bulk up on their D-III games
(and wins).
 
The *facts* from last season: RIT was 8-1-1 against SUNYAC
teams in the regular season, and Elmira was 8-2. That's a combined
16-3-1 against the SUNYAC.
 
Maybe we should take this discussion to hockey3..
