Ivy Power Rankings
1) Princeton
The Tigers reclaim the top spot with a simply stunning 66-0 win in terrible conditions over Cornell. The fact that this weekend's game of the century is also at Princeton Stadium speaks well for Old Nassau.
2) Dartmouth
Should Big Green fans be concerned that Dartmouth's last two wins weren't as impressive as their first five? I don't think it's any reason for panic, but it does make one wonder if Princeton is peaking while the Big Green is coming a little closer back to earth.
3) Penn
Picking the #3 team in the Ivies right now feels like a fool's errand. But let's go with Penn simply because of their record and the fact that the Quakers aren't so completely gutted by injuries.
4) Harvard
The Crimson have put together two good games in a row, considering the competition.
5) Yale
The Elis offense wasn't all that bad last week without Rawlings. And they will bounce back big against Brown Saturday.
6) Columbia
It's a team game and the Lions are playing like a team that can overcome anything. They certainly don't win every game, but they seem to fight harder with a lot less. If Columbia can somehow beat Harvard Saturday, they can make a claim to the #3 spot.
7) Cornell
The Big Red was badly exposed on Saturday at Princeton. A loss to Penn this weekend will erase a lot of what Cornell accomplished in its win over Harvard.
8) Brown
The Bears still show no real signs of life.
