As we start the doubleheader, with the women currently giving LIU a good battle.

I hadn't posted anything on Robert Morris' big win at B.C., which is great for the league if the Colonials are the team that gets its name called on Selection Sunday.

I've always believed the committee looks at individual teams more than conferences though, so if, say, Central is the league champ, that RMU win doesn't mean much unless CCSU beats Robert Morris twice. Then the committee might say, well, they beat RMU who beat B.C., etc. Of course, for any of this to matter, the Eagles have to play well in the ACC.

Even still, one game doesn't necessarily mean too much. Come March, some 14 or 15 will beat a 3 or a 2, but that doesn't mean they'd win many games in a BCS league. What the Colonials did is a very nice feather in the league's cap though, and it's a nice building block.

Even in some losses over the last two years, the NEC has held its own against some teams that, on the surface, you'd think would tear through this league like Mighty Igor used to tear through his opponents. So maybe the NEC can start getting a touch of respect.
