US Lax Magazine has us as #6 overall facing Villanova...so all over the place

Maryland losing has us jumping ahead of them?  That is good if NCAA agrees.  Of course if Yale loses to Cornell today that revisits the whole seeding.

I like that match up, but a 6th seed would be unfair. Laxfilmroom has a less than 1% chance of a 6th seed and most likely seeded 3rd. There are a lot of dangerous teams so unless you get 1st or 2nd in reality I am not sure it matters other than hosting a game at home.

Had us as the 5 seed yesterday before we thrashed a Top 20 RPI team. Maryland's 3 goal loss to Hopkins doesn't move them off the 1 seed, but that single Hopkins win shoots them all the way up from the 7 seed to the 2 seed. Seems pretty ridiculous.

Pending today's game..we have the #2 RPI..with a road win over the #1 RPI team..and another road win over Top 10 RPI Syracuse in dominating fashion. 5 total top 20 RPI wins against just one loss..on the road against the #3 RPI team. 

The 4 or 5 seed should really be the floor..with a ceiling of probably 2. But the team regularly gets jobbed in Tournament seeding..so who knows.

I think we will be a 4 seed so if favorites continue to win, the top 4 seeds make it to Memorial Day weekend and avoid rematches with Yale and Maryland till then.   Not sure if Duke or Hopkins gets the other top 4 seed.  NCAA loves Hopkins every year.

It doesn't really seem like the Yale/Cornell game makes much of a difference for us. A Cornell win would likely bump them up to the Top 10 in the RPI..making us 3-1 against the Top 10..with 2 of them on the road. But a Yale loss would likely move them out of the Top 5..giving us just one Top 5 games.

EDIT: Maybe a Yale loss makes it a bit easier to put us ahead of them in the seeding?

Yale vs Cornell looks like a factor in particular if Cornell wins...see a possible UMASS Amherst vs Albany match

Before today's Games when Albany blows out VT, Denver Loses, U MASS wins, Robert Morris wins, Cornell wins yesterday, 

According to this we are ranked higher than some of you are saying.  We'll see I guess.

That's from yesterday. Their update this morning moves us down to the 6 seed.

Actually..looks like I could've just checked out what @LaxFilmRoom is doing right now. He has a Cornell win (and Duke over Boston) giving us a 57% chance of grabbing at least a 2 seed. So..go Big Red!

Because they moved Hopkins up to the 2 seed..shifting just about everyone down. Why? You got me.

I do not understand the love of Hopkins and the constant hate they show Am East and Albany!!!!!
