I have spent most of the year focused on NESCAC since I live in the area and see some games.

One thing that is really bothering me is the NYU bid over Montclair St.  I get that NYU has a mathematical advantage over Montclair is sos but their record is much worse.  The next level analysis of rvr, heavily favors Montclair.  NYU is 1-4-1 with a win over #7 Carnegie Mellon whereas MS is 2-2-1 with wins over #2 Rowan and #4 Vassar.  Plus they really challenged themselves by going out to Redlands as well as other high end out of conference.

What am I missing here? 

I am much more sympathetic to this situation than West Conn who played almost no one except Vassar and I really wonder if Vassar deserves to be in with one regional win versus #7 New Paltz.  Hamilton's resume is similar.

Be careful citing MS's victory over #2 Rowan as a key result. Rowan was really only at #2 because they beat MS in the conference championship. That leads to the logic of, MS beat Rowan, which shows strength because Rowan beat...MS.

I am new to following the Pool C race, but it seems like the committee had MS in a very similar boat to West Conn. Both teams were going to have to win their tournaments to make it in.
