    Note that I have modified the standings (by hand) to rank the teams by
    record against Division I teams.  Thus far, Anchorage looks to have the
    inside track on the independent bid, but there are so many good teams
    this year across Division I that I think they will probably end up going
    to the tourney over a team that deserves to go but won't.  We shall see.
