That can still change if Plattsburgh beats #6 ranked Geneseo while Williams sits at home. As usual, the spreadsheet isn't available so we'll have to guess what the comparison would look like. The stunner to me is Endicott ranked at #10...
If Plattsburgh beats Genny, it becomes a moot point as far as Pool C goes. If Platty were to lose to Genny, this could be quite significant...
I wasn't thinking of Pool C actually. I was thinking of seeding. You're right, though. I really wanted to see the numbers to see why Williams is still ahead. That pesky head-to-head is still out there too.
A Platty/Williams/Stevens Point comparison would be interesting to take a look at.
If only we could....
Wrote down a few before it was taken down...
1) Results vs. Ranked; 2) SOS; 3) Overall Win %
Hobart - 0.643; 0.542; 0.808
Williams - 0.600; 0.531; 0.760
Plattsburgh - 0.500; 0.520; 0.827
Trinity - 0.375; 0.523; 0.780
Babson - 0.667; 0.505; 0.759
Geneseo - 0.556; 0.533; 0.741
Can somebody who understands this better than me help me understand if Geneseo has a prayer of getting a Pool C if they lose to Plattsburgh and assuming conference favorites mostly take care of business?

Beyond stunning; I thought it was a typo. 14-7-1 with a #45 SOS?
What could possibly be the committee's rationale? I want what they're smoking!

They have a 1.00% RnK...yup that's about it lol
So Plattsburgh continues to lose all but WIN to Williams, including COP. A loss to Geneseo would hurt both RNK and COP in addition to WIN. At this point, I think Pool C #3 would come down to Plattsburgh vs Stevens Point, and because Plattsburgh would take hits to both WIN and RNK, I think they lose that comparison. I've said since the moment Williams lost, it's now officially SUNYAC or bust.
Kinda goes to what the RNK "metric" is worth. That should be s***-canned; it's only apparent reason for existence is to allow the committee to massage the numbers at will, and without any accountability.
Correct. But its a double edged sword. If Plattsburgh is to win Saturday, that should propel them into the #2 East. One other thing I was tossing around in my head as I was driving, this is the LAST public NCAA Ranking. While I know certain people are not allowed to say, (and just to toss a little fuel on the fire) is Endicott a cover for who they will toss in that #10 spot to propel or drop a team? I thought last weeks Top 10 was pretty accurate, does adding Endicott just leave the door open a smidgen when it comes time for selection time? We have a lot of close teams in the East who could move up/down based on one team being in/out of the final "behind closed door" poll.
