there were 2 PL draftees this year. the Ivy League is MUCH more competitive in baseball than the PL, although the PL has made decent strides in the last few years...HC excluded.

Your assertion that the ivy league baseball is much more competitive than PL baseball is not accurate. As I posted before, the PL was 8-5 vs. the ivies this year. Second, although it is not an official RPI - this is a pretty good site. http://www.boydsworld.com/baseball/rpi/rpi601.html

According to the RPI formula that the site uses, here are the latest rankings:

PL (avg. rank 201.6)
Army - 107
Lehigh - 178
Lafayette - 211
HC - 218
Bucknell - 223
Navy - 273

Ivy (avg. rank 197.8)
Princeton - 126
Dartmouth (HC beat them)-163
Harvard (HC split 2 games)-164
Yale (HC lost) - 175
Columbia - 214
Brown - 217
Cornell - 242
Penn - 282

As you can see, these leagues are pretty even with a slight edge to the ivies. MUCH more competitive is a gross overstatement.
