Ivy Power Rankings
1) Dartmouth
The Big Green keep the top spot because they still have played the tougher overall schedule.
2) Columbia
The Lions overcame a lot of personal demons by beating Penn last week, setting up the biggest game the program has faced since the de facto Ivy championship game at Cornell in 1971.
3) Princeton
Columbia should be very grateful they don't have to play the Tigers again. Even without John Lovett, this still looks like the best offense in a league with some good offensive teams.
4) Yale
Beating Holy Cross in week 5 is not the same as beating them in week 2. It's hard to tell how good the Elis are now after defeating a Crusader team that quit on Head Coach Tom Gilmore, leading to his firing on Monday.
5) Harvard
It still seems to early to count the Crimson out. But Harvard is simply not getting great play from its quarterbacks.
6) Penn
The Quakers still have some potent weapons. But they too are plagued by inconsistency at QB.
7) Cornell
The Big Red sure made their win over Harvard look like a fluke by losing to a mediocre Bucknell team at home.
8) Brown
This is the worst the Bears have looked as a program since 1992.

Princeton just hung 51 points on Harvard and there are still 6 minutes to go. Kanoff was 20 for 20 in the first half. Oh, and that's 50+ points in three games in a row.
Columbia was very lucky they caught that unit early in the season as they appear to be rolling now at a fearsome pace. They have adapted to the loss of Lovett by apparently during Kanoff into Quinn Epperly II. Whoa.
