On that note, that same article on the front page has 5 people picking the NESCAC to make it to the Round of 16, so take it all with a grain of salt. Depending on what kind of favorable draw the committee hands the NESCAC donors, if they face a real team at any point, I think they get physically beaten down, but that's just me.

The committee doesn't have much leeway on the draw for the playoffs now that the NPI governs everything. I would absolutely favor a 9-0 NESCAC team in many round of 32 games in that part of the country, though, and with a first-round bye that would be all it would take to get to the round of 16.

Now that the NESCAC is in the NCAA tournament, I think the chance of a second LL team making the playoffs is significantly diminished. I do think that future potential matchups in the NCAAs between the LL and NESCAC could be very interesting especially for RPI and Union who wish they were in the NESCAC anyway

Theoretically, every team's chances are diminished by 1 in 12 or so thanks to the NESCAC finally claiming its rightful automatic bid.
