I've seen some previews of the 2019 Ivy football season that have come out online over the last few weeks.
Some are pretty good, some have been pretty awful, (especially the ones that get basic info wrong, including last year's W-L records).
Of course I'll have my full preview of the Ivy season coming up in about six weeks. But for now, here's the quickie version: (subject to change)
1. Dartmouth: The Big Green came about as close to winning the title last year as you can get without getting it, and they return all the key players except on the O-line.
2. Columbia: The Lions have a bevvy of returning talent after eking out a winning record with massive injuries last year.
3. Yale: The Elis are getting key players back from injury, but also losing many to graduation.
4. Harvard: The Crimson have one of the best incoming freshmen classes we've seen in a long time; it should be enough to make them a contender again.
5. Princeton: Great defense coming back, but the Tigers haven't proven they can win consistently without the now-graduated John Lovett.
6. Penn: The Quakers could surprise, but the program seems to be sliding.
7. Cornell: Every once in a while the Big Red sneaks up on you, but that'll be hard to do with a new QB this year.
8. Brown: I'm a big James Perry fan, but this project will take more time than one season.
