Ivy Power Rankings

1. Princeton

There were a few strong performances for Ivy teams in week one, but only the Tigers combined a dominant offense, defensive, and did it on the road.

2. Harvard

San Diego is a better team than it appeared to be on Saturday, but Harvard looked motivated to win in a way we haven't seen in a while.

3. Dartmouth

The Big Green dominated on both sides of the ball, but they did it against a punchless Hoya team.


4. Columbia

The Lions unveiled some new weapons in a three-score win on the road against what was supposed to be a good CCSU team. But injuries dampen the win a bit, as does the fact that the Blue Devils looked very sloppy.


5. Yale

The loss to Holy Cross only served to highlight fears about the Eli defense.


6. Penn

The Quakers beat a bad Patriot League team in Bucknell. But Penn also suffered a serious injury to co-captain Sam Philippi who needed to be taken off the field on a stretcher.


7. Cornell

The Big Red offense sputtered, but that could change with more playing time for RB Chris Walker on the horizon. The defense looks improved.


8. Brown

Losing to Cal Poly on the road is nothing to be ashamed of. But the Bears still haven't given us any evidence that they're not a last place team.
