If the Ivies as a whole don't just maintain, but actually improve on their current OOC record there is a good chance they will be in a position to garner 3 and maybe even grab a fourth invite to the big dance regardless of the brutal dogfights likely to go on within the league. This will be a tall order with 22 OOC games remaining including matchups with (I project) 14 schools likely to end up among the top 30 in the country. At this point Yale, Brown, Harvard and Dartmouth are all in need of beefing up their quality win component to not have to make some considerable noise in the league to get in, but none of the Ivies are in a strong enough position to suffer a bad loss (to a team in bottom half of the country) without putting some pressure on themselves to emerge out of the league dogfight with a spot in the ILT.faircornell wrote: ↑Fri Mar 11, 2022 10:46 pm The challenge is that once the Ivies start playing each other, good teams get losses. Princeton, Penn and Cornell have high quality wins that willl help them weather the storm. Yale would help themselves by beating Denver this weekend. Cornell would be helped by a win against Penn State.
This weekend should go a long way in determining just how good the league is with games against Penn State, Denver, Villanova, Stony Brook and Michigan. Go Ivies!
