Re: ECAC Projected Standings 2014-15
This is incorrect, Yale can still fall to 9th and has thus not clinched a home series. While Yale would win 2-way tiebreaker with RPI, this analysis ignores the potential for multi-way ties that can put RPI ahead of Yale before re-starting procedures. Cornell is a key element here as Yale would be 0-2 vs Cornell and RPI would be 2-0. If it's a 3-way tie with just those three then all are 2-2-0 head-to-head, RPI comes out on top based on most wins. Cornell then wins h2h vs Yale.
RPI can also get as high as 3rd for the same reasons.
After 14 February:
SLU and Yale have clinched a home series, weekend is TBD. They are each able to get to 8th place.
...
RPI cannot reach third due to losing the tiebreak with Yale. They are able to get into fourth by themselves.
