Ivy Power Rankings Week 2
1) Princeton
What other team, even Harvard and Penn, could lose a player like John Lovett and still have an offense running on all cylinders? The Tigers got top RB Charlie Volcker back against Lafayette and he looked good too.
2) Harvard
The Crimson got a fire lit under them after the loss to URI and they responded by deciding the game against Brown in a hurry.
3) Yale
The Elis offense is humming along.
4) Penn
The Quakers now have a superstar running threat in Karekin Brooks to go along with top WR Justin Watson.
5) Dartmouth
The Big Green stunned Holy Cross, but a tough defense and solid running game will produce lots of victories no matter what.
6) Columbia
The Lions have held serve with two wins against weaker opponents.
7) Cornell

What I find ironic is that Fordham is ranked below us in 2 of the polls. What happened to the Rams??
And how do we get to #3 in the Ivies? Ludicrous. I also note that Harvard is rated just a few positions better than us in these polls, and far behind Penn, Princeton, Dartmouth and Yale. How is that?
If we don't blow it against Marist, and perform against Cornell and Brown, we will see .500. Pull an upset besides, and it's a winning record, finally.
At this point, we are 11 point dogs. If the team shows up ready to play, it could be very interesting, since I don't think Princeton is expecting much of a contest.
How sweet would it be???
