        Based on Tuesday's rankings, both would get in. Plus the tourney winner. The only team that I can see being rated ahead of them would be Adrian if they lose, but then I'd still say three Pool Cs are Adrian, Amherst, and Trinity. Any team looking to jump Trinity or Amherst would also have to lose (with the possible exception of Hobart and I'm not sure they can jump that high).

        Any speculation comes with the "see Trinity 2014" caveat...

          Great question...or do both get in and we see three NESCAC teams?

            The conference isn't the ECACW is it? So the answer would be NO.

                  When that team displaces PSU or Norwich, just to serve as one-and-done cannon-fodder, who benefits?

                    Lets all remind Fish about the year in the NCAA D1 hoop tourney where "undeserving" UVM defeated Syracuse in round 1 !!

                          They might be gifted it as a direct consequence of D-3 awarding any team in that conference an AQ, but they wouldn't have "earned" it by any reasonable measure. It's truly absurd to have the 40-50th something team in the nation included in the field of 11.

                          Lots of folks on here who like to hide in the D-3 box seem to think that the status quo is something proscribed by God himself, and therefore immutable... It's neither, and the process is beyond dumb right now.

                            Allow me to remind you that was a field of 64 teams, not 11. (Appreciate the difference as far as "inclusion" goes?)

                            Thanks anyway!

                              There are also 351 schools playing D1 hoops vs. 70 something playing D3 hockey, Given the $$ paid to D1 hoops coaches, the more in the tournament = job protection.

                                Nope, you are mistaking...

                                The MASAC and NE champs will have earned it by winning the conference tournament of a league that meets the NCAA criteria for an autobid. Period.

                                Atlantic Hockey's champ gets an AQ at the D1 level and occasionally makes some noise (see RIT and Holy Cross.). The Underdog/Hoosiers element is one of the cool things about NCAA hockey and if you don't like that, then beat it, you're following the wrong sport.

                                Just relax, it looks like there is a good possibility that the W is going to get a 7th member and an AQ fairly soon, and the team you follow will have its fair shot at a Pool A too.
