It's been a fun year watching games at the Cooler for sure. Hobart is legit. Anyone who comes in thinking not will be walking away with their tails tucked between their legs. They've simply made other teams look silly at times (Geneseo, Brockport, Utica). I know there is a group of us coming to Lake Placid if Hobart makes it.

I don't know if you saw the post on the "other" site Matt, but Dunning and I got talking about Norwich and their 17-8-2 record is envious of some programs. But then I brought up the fact that Norwich was 14-8-1 in the NCAA's eyes (thank you DII teams), which got me thinking. Would a .667 win% help how much more then the .630? But then I went one step more, how many of Plattsburgh opponents had their win% lowered due to playing DII teams and how much of a difference? Results? Enough and A LOT. It was only the KRACH SOS, but comparing the DIII and DII/DIII KRACH Plattsburgh gained 28.1 points. The average difference of the teams was just 7.57...that's almost 4 times the average. UWSP only went up 5.7 points. I don't have the date formula for the NCAA SOS (which is kind of bogus to begin with), but such a big difference makes me wonder if the NCAA SOS would have been different had they added the DII teams. Food for thought. Enough to overtake Williams, no. But UWSP? Hmm
