Not that I have any say; but considering the unbalanced schedule and other covid issues etc; the Strength of schedule [i.e. wins/loses vs teams played against] absolutely should be a high factor in AmEast seeding. This is usually included in tie-breaker determinations; but usually down on the list of determinants. It should move to the top of the list and perhaps even supersede overall record.

We'll see. I think it's 50/50 if they can pull off the tournament. I keep suspecting they'll just say the #1 seed is the conference rep for the tourney at some point. 

The way the numbers are going, it seems like it would have been better to change the NCAA tourney from "March Madness" to "May Madness" and had a better chance of having look a little more like a regular season with teams getting games in. That's Monday morning quarterbacking on my part.

That would be a crime if it happened. It's not like the AE has a runaway leader this year. Throw in the fact that we have the uneven schedule with the top teams getting wins against the bottom of the conference that other teams didn't get to play.
