I just did some research...

- Only Norwich, UWRF, and Amherst have a winning record above .500 vs ranked teams.

- All teams EXCEPT Norwich and Castleton have at least ONE loss and or tie against unranked teams now

- St.Norbert and UWS each have 4 L/T vs Unranked teams

- UWRF and Adrian each have 3 L/T vs Unranked teams

- Oswego, Plattsburgh, Amherst, Neumann, and Utica only have 1 L/T vs Unranked teams

- Elmira has had 6 games vs ranked teams

- Plattsburgh and Oswego have had 5 games vs ranked teams

- Williams has faced just 1 game vs ranked team

- SNC, Amherst, Adrian, MSOE, UWS, and Middlebury have all only played 2 games vs Ranked teams

- 100% of the ranked teams UWS and SNC have played are ranked in the top 5

- PSU is next at 80%, Norwich 75%, Castleton 67%, Utica and Elmira at 50%, Middlebury 33%, Neumann 25%, Oswego 20 %

- UWRF, Amherst, Adrian, MSOE, and Williams all are at 0% games played vs top 5 ranked teams

The term handicap derives from hand-in-cap, a popular 17th-century lottery game, where players placed their bets in a cap

Just saying ...
