NOTICE: Due to the ongoing war on Israel and the Jewish people worldwide, my writing and analytic skills (such as they are) have been in constant demand since 10/7. One of the many, many regrets I have about all of these incidents is that I have less time to document the season on this blog and moderate the comments as much as I'd like. However, because I believe the fans' right to vent sadness and frustration in a peaceful way (albeit angry in virtual tone), I'm going to proceed with that light touch going forward)
1) Harvard
The past two weeks haven't made Harvard look nearly as good as the previous six. But the Crimson still have the most complete team in the league... barely.
2) Yale
The Elis are still inconsistent, but have all the tools still in place.
3) Princeton
If the Tigers beat Dartmouth Friday night, then they'll have a strong case for the top spot a week from today.
4) Penn
Falling to Brown at home was a killer for the Quakers.
5) Dartmouth
The Big Green offense doesn't have enough punch to back up a strong D.
6) Brown
The Bears finally picked up a key road Ivy win. But this is still too much of an inconsistent team.
7) Cornell
The Big Red are a different team every week... pretty much like the rest of the teams in the Ivies
8) Columbia
The Lions are actually the only consistent team in the league this year. If only that were a good thing this time around.

Topical great analysis from you Jake.
Thanks Jake. Its fun to be a part of this even with the negativity. Prayers for Jerusalem. Shalom
Lots of parity in the league this year. You could make an argument for any of the top 7 teams to be ranked in the top 3, or atleast finishing there. Go Columbia Lions and Am Yisroel Chai!
Completely understand—and it would be nice if our universities spoke with more moral clarity about the events of Oct. 7th.
Fake Pilling post. Confirmed.
I think Peter and his staff are monitoring this thread.
Very disappointed with some of the images/videos that have surfaced from some of the Ivy schools against Israel. Both sides-ism is not a stance that people should feel entitled to.
Appreciate all you do Jake!
Did anyone see the articles in today’s New York Times Sports Section about Iowa’s Offensive Coordinator, Head Coach’s Fernetz’s son? While Mark Fabish and Al Bagnoli are not father/son, it is not a reach to substitute the two of them, for the Ferentz father/son duo.
Regardless of the family relationship, Iowa’s dismal output on offense, has resulted in the Athletic Director terminating the Offensive Coordinator’s contract.
Had that been done, after the last few years’ poor production from Fabish’s offense, we would likely be in a different place at the moment.
While Fabish was not a “nepo baby”, he certainly had a strong protector.
Another Fabish biff tomorrow. Won’t watch.
Harvard over CU 42-3 tomorrow. But it’s the weather/the start time/insert generic excuse here (that some will employ to absolve Fabish and co.)
Well, I'm more optimistic, but that's because of being through such dismal years over so many years pre-Bagnoli. But I can say, if it's 42-3, sadly it's over.

Point spread for game?
Wow, when was the last time Brown beat both Killer P's in a season? 2008?
