Also there are some D3 teams that can probably beat Princeton. But how many are head and shoulders above Princeton? Probably less than 10
See above. I mean no disrespect to D3 baseball, but I would be very surprised if there are 10 D3 programs that if they played in Division 1, their RPI would be in the top half of D1. Actually, I would be very surprised if there are any. Just out of curiosity, I looked up some of the schools listed above -- Trinity, Cal Lu, Wisconsin Stevens Point and Cortland -- to see if they have any recent MLB players and I couldn't find any. That doesn't mean that they're not strong programs . . .
Now, on any given day, could team x beat team y? Sure, it's baseball.

I remember hearing about how Amherst beat Dartmouth a few years back. The Dartmouth HC in his "spirited" post game chat with his team said something to the effect of "A number of those players wish they were in your shoes, and I said no to every one of them."
