False. Have yet to see a scenario where it is possible.

I have a great place for you to stick that sympathy.
Only requoting for the humor value here, no commentary necessary.
And, apparently, to chime in with childish comments of your own.

Re: RPI 2011-12 Part V: Don't Stop Believing
1) RPI wins out
2) Cornell / Colgate / Union win out remaining games (games against each other can be any result)
3) Princeton / Brown win all remaining games (Brown-Princeton game next Saturday can be any result)
4) Dartmouth-Yale tie Friday and then win out all remaining games
5) SLU wins remaining game (against Harvard)
6) Harvard-Clarkson tie
Final Standings:
Princeton holds the tiebreaker over both Harvard and Clarkson, so the Crimson-Knights game can end in either a tie or a Clarkson win.
Game results applied in the following order:
1) RPI wins out
2) Cornell / Colgate / Union win out remaining games (games against each other can be any result)
3) Princeton / Brown win all remaining games (Brown-Princeton game next Saturday can be any result)
4) Dartmouth-Yale tie Friday and then win out all remaining games
5) SLU wins remaining game (against Harvard)
6) Harvard-Clarkson tie
Final Standings:
Code:
--------------------------
| 1 | Union | 34 |
| 2 | Cornell | 29 |
| 3 | Colgate | 27 |
| 4 | Rensselaer | 21 |
| 5 | Harvard | 21 |
| 6 | Yale | 20 |
| 7 | Clarkson | 20 |
| 8 | Dartmouth | 20 |
| 9 | St. Lawrence | 19 |
| 10 | Brown | 19 |
| 11 | Quinnipiac | 18 |
| 12 | Princeton | 16 |

There's a rumor from WAP that we will be playing St, Clooud next year. If there's a reciprocal trip planned the next year, that's great news in looking to get some PWR comparisons with the NCHC.

Re: RPI 2011-12 Part V: Don't Stop Believing
You don't need two computers for this one. There's a couple of things that have to happen or else it's impossible (i.e. RPI must win out, Clarkson/Harvard must lose out with the exception of getting a tie vs. each other), and already that is an incredible longshot. We probably have a better chance of winning the lottery than we have of getting a first round bye. To those that bash naysayers, that's a LONG way from the chance being zero.

What's wrong with that? It's what makes us unique!
I should have known that was going to bring down the nerd squad.

Great! I have done some of my finest calculating on cocktail napkins. In fact spent lunch today doing our taxes that way.

Cocktail napkins are the way to go. Typically, I use them to show people how to do square roots with pencil and paper.

Re: RPI 2011-12 Part V: Don't Stop Believing
Using KRACH and the powers of probability, I calculate our chance of getting a bye as 0.00000000834%, which is a little bit worse than 1 in 10 billion (Of course this isn't perfect as I can't adequately account for ties and momentum isn't considered, but it gives us a ballpark). So yes, there is a scenario that gets us a bye. No, it's not going to happen.

I KNEW my chances of winning the lottery were higher! But it's still a chance. I won't hold my breath for it, though.

We have been known to have all of the dominos fall correctly before, but this one seems quite unlikely. Perhaps we could protest some goal to give us an extra point.

Last time I checked, this isn't 2010-11.

You do the math, we'll report on it.
RPI Part VI: Yes, there IS math involved.
