Preseason Poll Released

There were no surprises in the just-released Ivy League Football media poll. Grasping at straws after 610 days off since the last Ivy team actually played a game, the reporters and p.r. professionals went with this predicted order of finish:


1. Princeton

2. Yale

3. Dartmouth 

4. Harvard

5. Penn

6. Brown

7. Columbia

8. Cornell


I think the logic behind these picks is that Princeton is returning a very good defense and the best overall defensive player in the league in LB Jeremiah Tyler. 

The rest of the predictions seem more like a crapshoot than usual... which is saying something. 

But I have to again caution everyone getting their noses out of shape about this poll that it's really nothing to scream about.

Frankly, I'm just grateful we're still on track to have a season as of now. 

By the time the 2021 season kicks off, 650 days will have passed since our last game.
