If a team with national aspirations isn't playing two top 25 teams in the non-con games, preferably at least one other top 10%, then they are taking a big risk. And, as SJU demonstrates this year, a loss to a non-con can be tolerated. Even a loss to a mid level conference team. Assuming we and BU seal the deal this weekend.
If BU lose then we'll be 1:1 against RRO and will likely never get to the top of pool c consideration even though we would still be regionally ranked.
Bethel's rank this week counts for RRO....see Pat's post earlier today.
Are there any Pool A bids up for grabs this weekend where a loss by one team would put the loser in the Pool C discussion? If not it seems like task for Saint John's is easy - win on Saturday and a ride the 2-1 RRO record and strong SOS to the plays no matter what Bethel does.
