Anyone thinking about changing their placement of RPI after yesterday? Came as one huge surprise to me and i don't surprise easily. Vic, i might resubmit with them one notch higher later on (but only after I see what the expert of the household does)

I thought about bumping them up higher, but Vic doesn't have a slot for "supreme ruler of all we survey".

It's entirely possible. I know I didn't regret picking SLU 3rd last year, when no one else had them in the top 4.
i tried to wait for jenny to pick but she would not let me see what she listed until after. She has her system. One year posting the top six in alphabetical order and the last six in reverse alphabetical order. She did very well since the "C" schools were near the top and Brown had an unusually good year as did Dartmouth. Last year I gave up all rhyme and reason and just went with gut feelings and did the best I ever had.

Something tells me RNG might actually have a good shot this year. :eek:
 
Re: ECAC Pick The Standings Contest 2015-2016

Other than Clarkson kind of high and Yale pretty low, I wouldn't be surprised at all by that.

I wonder how many times vicb had to run his RNG until he got something that looked fairly reasonable. ;)

Not after they follow it up with a loss to Alaska...but there could be hope this season in Troy!
