Wild Cards (was Re: College Bowl NCT 2004 field is official)

As others have pointed out, the list on the CBCI web page is not 
complete. Cornell was the wild card in 1993, Alfred in 1995. Try this

Further complicating analysis is the fact that a wild card listed may 
not be the first wild card drawn. Several region numbers are drawn 
during wild card selection, and invitations are issued in the order 
drawn. If the second place finisher of the first region drawn 
declines the invitation, the second place finisher of the next region 
drawn is extended the invitation, and so on. Being listed as the wild 
card team only means that was the first team to accept the 
invitation, not necessarily the first region drawn.
