RPI has clinched a playoff spot.
 
The key is to remember that Princeton and Yale play at Union this week.
 
For both Yale and Union to climb over RPI they EACH must get 3 points this
weekend thus Yale and Union must TIE. If one team wins the game, the other will
only get at most 2 points this weekend and RPI is in no question.
 
There are 2 ties that could happen:
 
RPI , Dartmouth , Union and Yale each with 12 points or just
RPI, Union and Yale (if Dartmouth gets more than 2 points this weekend)
 
[Dartmouth      ] at [Union          ] Union
[Union          ] at [Dartmouth      ] Union
[Dartmouth      ] at [RPI            ] RPI
[RPI            ] at [Dartmouth      ] Dartmouth
[Dartmouth      ] at [Yale           ] TIE
[Yale           ] at [Dartmouth      ] Dartmouth
 
[Union          ] at [RPI            ] RPI
[RPI            ] at [Union          ] RPI
[Union          ] at [Yale           ] Yale
[Yale           ] at [Union          ] TIE
[RPI            ] at [Yale           ] RPI
[Yale           ] at [RPI            ] Yale
 After H2H: With Dartmouth  Without Dartmouth
            RPI 8               RPI 6
           Yale 6               Yale 3
      Dartmouth 5               Union 1
          Union 5
 
As you can see, RPI wins the H2H tiebreakers in each case. So RPI is
in. Wooo baby, NCAA's here we come.
