The NESCAC schools in the ECAC East (Amherst, Bowdoin,Colby,Conn College, Hamilton, Middlebury, Trinity, Wesleyan, Williams) who clinch ECAC East playoffs spots may elected to vacate them in favor of waiting for an NCAA bid. Therefore, some teams that have been theoretically eliminated from playoff contention could still make the playoffs, provided that they move up into one of the top ten positions.
