Platty's athletic department does this just to annoy us, don't they? =)

If they wanted to really annoy you they'd call you the Rectal Intake Team.
Have this feeling RIT wins ECAC west. Would that leave Elmira out ?
Has 3 teams from one conference ever gone to ncaa's ?

No, that's juvenile, not annoying.

no..and I'm fairly certain RIT has never made it.
Three teams from one conference have never made it.
However, RIT has made it. They lost in the ECAC East finals to Manhattanville in 2007 and then lost to an upstart Amherst team 2-1 in the NCAA Quarterfinals.
That was Nagymarosi's year at RIT and she posted 32 goals and 29 assists with Isabelle Richard.
RIT's 3-2 head-to-head win over Elmira more than likely clinched the at-large bid for the Tigers over Elmira that year. That's the only year Elmira hasn't made the NCAA Tournament.
Can RIT get into the NCAAs by beating Elmira but losing to Plattsburgh? Could the NCAAs use an RIT win over Elmira but loss to Plattsburgh as the perfect excuse to get more West teams in this year?
While I think RIT can finally beat Elmira I'm not sure that they can beat Plattsburgh. I kinda hope I can make it up there this weekend to see the games.
More than likely RIT needs to win the whole thing IMHO to assure a bid.
The committee MIGHT give RIT the bid over Elmira if they really spank them in the semis and then play a tight game with Plattsburgh, but even then, it'd still be close. Head to head would be a wash with each team being 1-1-1.
It'd come down to SOS and record against ranked teams etc.
Could the committee leave out both RIT and Elmira in favor of a west team though?
