This was posted on Sunday, but I thought I'd drag it out again based on the recent discussion. The thought behind my post is IF two teams end up tied in the standings, who would win the tiebreaker. In the race for the top 5 positions, only two of the possible scenarios are still uncertain (both deal with St. Lawrence). As was mentioned earlier, Clarkson will not win any ties: Team1 Team 2 Winner of Tiebreaker Certainty ----------------------------------------------------------------- Vermont St. Lawrence St. Lawrence Probable Vermont Clarkson Vermont DEFINATE Vermont Cornell Cornell DEFINATE St. Lawrence Clarkson St. Lawrence DEFINATE St. Lawrence Cornell St. Lawrence 50/50 Guess St. Lawrence Colgate Colgate DEFINATE Clarkson Cornell Cornell DEFINATE Clarkson Colgate Colgate DEFINATE Cornell Colgate Cornell DEFINATE The middle of the ECAC is also set in stone: Team1 Team 2 Winner of Tiebreaker Certainty ----------------------------------------------------------------- Harvard Brown Harvard DEFINATE Ties near the bottom of the conference are also set in stone. The only one that is not definate is Union/Yale. Unfortunately, that doesn't count for anything this season, as a tie will be in last place. Team1 Team 2 Winner of Tiebreaker Certainty ----------------------------------------------------------------- Rensselaer Princeton Princeton DEFINATE Rensselaer Dartmouth Rensselaer DEFINATE Rensselaer Union Rensselaer DEFINATE Rensselaer Yale Rensselaer DEFINATE Princeton Dartmouth Princeton DEFINATE Princeton Union Union DEFINATE Princeton Yale Princeton DEFINATE Dartmouth Union Union DEFINATE Dartmouth Yale Dartmouth DEFINATE Union Yale Winner of Union/Yale game (probable) If you would like to know how I made these decisions, either email me privately or check out the hockey-l archives. -- from: LTJG Kenneth A.
