     The RPICH ranking of #31 *includes* consideration of who they
have played.  There still seems to be a misconception among some folks
about this.  Thus we still see comments about how every WCHA team, for
example, is better than Clarkson and Brown (or how no ECAC team is good
enough to deserve one of the 12 NC$$ bids), even though Clarkson's #8
ranking takes strength of schedule into account.
