As far as D-III is concerned, Russell is right the NCAA doesn't care.

Fixed you post.

But, alas, did not since it was just too easy.

That's RIT's fault

I believe his current failure to acknowledge his ineptness and failure is intentional, I do not believe his initial intentions upon taking the position were to be destructive.

Let us all be happy and satisfied that we are where we are this weekend and enjoy the game.

If things go according to the way we believe they will in the West, it comes down to Castleton/Norwich + Plattsburgh (if they don't win) + Elmira/Neumann. Generally the NESCAC is a really good conference, but I don't think there is any way they get two in this year.

If Plattsburgh wins, all of the above teams get in. If they don't somebody will get screwed, probably Castleton, maybe Plattsburgh.
What could really screw this up is if Adrian/St. Norbert lose. I think that if one of those two teams lose their conference, the smoke and mirrors kick in and we have 4 teams in the West during a year when they do not deserve it.

If SNC loses and you consider getting a team ranked in the top 3 all season a Pool C bid is "smoke and mirrors" then I guess "smoke and mirrors" it is.

I think by "4 teams in the West during a year when they do not deserve it" - the reference is to the team getting the AQ not necessarily being worthy – but getting in by virtue of winning the conference, SNC like Oswego, hands down, DESERVE to be there.
