How the eff is Colgate #11 and Navy #96?
Because of Patriot League decisions, only Navy and Army (due to the inherent institutional physical missions) have played ooc. Colgate's all PL schedule has them that high. Navy is 3-1 ooc, beating @Georgetown, GWU, and Mt St Marys, losing only at Maryland.
PL Colgate is 9-1, Navy 8-1.
Quad 1, Navy is 0-1, Colgate 0-0
Quad 2 Colgate 2-0, Navy 1-0
Quad 3 Navy 5-1, Colgate 3-1
Quad 4 Navy 5-0, Colgate 4-0

If those two meet in the PL final, and Navy wins Colgate should be at large? But if Colgate beats Navy, Navy isnt even an NIT team?

I'm not even saying PL is anything but a one bid conference...but the difference between #11 and #96 is a loss at NET #36?

Haven't looked at either team's W-L in depth, but what immediately comes to mind are efficiency and margin of victory. If Colgate is crapping on everybody in the Patriot League, and Navy is simply winning (or worse, winning close games) that would account for the disparity. If Colgate hits 3's, shoots FTs, greatly out rebounds teams, etc that would be part of it as well.

The lack of OOC opportunities is definitely benefitting them as well though
