Ivy Power Rankings





This week's rankings lean heavily on the two head-to-head match ups of previously 2-0 Ivy teams from last Saturday. They set us up for a rare #1 vs. #2 game in Hanover this weekend between the Big Green and Yale. And that means one of those teams is going to have their bubble burst.


1)  Dartmouth

Of all the undefeated teams in the league, Dartmouth is the only one that's played more than one good, (or apparently good), team.

2) Yale

The Elis haven't played any really good teams, but they've buried all three.

3) Columbia

We know the Lions have a lethal passing attack, and a lot of resilience in crunch time.

4) Harvard

The Crimson are getting into a groove.

5) Princeton

This is still a strong team with a lot of weapons.

6) Penn 

The Quakers aren't firing on all cylinders. But remember, this is the point in 2015 when they started their surge.

7) Brown

The Bears are just too inconsistent.

8) Cornell

Now the Big Red offense is starting to look bad too.

*NOTE: The Stats FCS poll has Columbia ranked ahead of every Ivy team but Dartmouth, (you have to look at the "others receiving votes footnote at the bottom)
