Ivy Power Rankings

 

 

1) Princeton

I know, I know... the Tiger defense has looked bad the last two weeks and defense was supposed to be their strong suit. But these were two tough outs Princeton picked up on the road and their "beaten opponents" list is still very impressive overall.

2) Dartmouth

Routing UNH on the road is a big deal. Perhaps Yale's recent fall diminishes Dartmouth's accomplishments so far this season, but not by much.

3) Harvard

The matchup with Princeton this Saturday is truly a marquee game.

4) Columbia

It feels like there's a big chasm between the top three teams and everyone else. If so, the Lions appear to be the best of the worst.

5) Yale

Losing to UConn, even this year, is not so bad. But the way the Elis lost was something else. Reno has yet to prove he can make Yale elite without Kurt Rawlings at QB.

6) Brown

Nice showing against Princeton. Anybody else think this Brown team is reminiscent of the '82 Lions with Witkowski at QB?

7) Cornell

Good for the Big Red for beating Colgate. But anyone who saw that game knows the Raiders didn't come to Schoelkopf with much. 

8) Penn

QB problems here just like Yale. Priore may be under the gun.
