Ivy Power Rankings

 




1) Harvard 

Two tough tests remain for the Crimson, but they're poised for a strong run to the finish.

2) Dartmouth

The Big Green have the clearest path to a 5-2 final conference record. If they can win these last two, they'll finish a strong second. 

3) Yale

The Elis have two very tough contests left to finish the season, and the odds are they will lose at least one of them. 

4) Penn

The Quakers are also facing a pair of games where at least one loss seems very likely.

5) Princeton

The Tigers finished weakly last year and seem likely to do so again.

6) Brown

I still like this Bears offense to do some damage.

7) Cornell

The Big Red are just too inconsistent. 

8) Columbia

Now the Lions defense is starting to look bad too.

We are about to get clocked by Brown. As other posters have noted, we continue to suffer from Fabish “biffs.”

Your outlook on Dartmouth notwithstanding, I think Harvard has a pretty clear path to a 5-2 record as well. :)

Can it be any more difficult to be a Lions fan?

Jim Engles ready to tangle with The U at Albany and then with Bard! Did Bagnoli set up the OOC hoops schedule?

Jimmy Engles gunning for a 3-11 mark in the conference, which will put him on pace for a winning record in the Ivies in another five years. The rest of the Ancient Eight can’t wait to pulverize us!

I’m not sanguine about the rest of the football season, to say nothing of Jim Engles and his peculiar brand of blunderball.

So, the question is, who will be the next head coach? Fabby isn’t HC material. Wilson, father of a former player.

Colorado Football (Sanders) replaced his OC last week (towards end of season) because he identified where the issue was and made adjustments to change it. Why can't Fab change his OC to save his a**? Instead he will go down for it all. Toughen up buttercup.

USC fired their Defensive Coordinator last week.
To correct a problem, you have to be able to identify the problem.
When you say, “except for some big plays early, we played Harvard even”, you are clueless.

exactly! Either Fabish does not want to see it or he does not want to fire his friend. That is the tough part of being a head coach, but he knew what he was getting into.

Dermot Trellis said...

Peter, when will you send Fabish packing? The rest of the league is laughing at us.

Fabish is a good coach. Everyone needs to relax.

So why then is he trying so hard not to reveal his skills?

He doesn't read this blog.
