Ivy League Week 4 - 2015 edition

[bonarae]

The following teams are already contenders for the Ivy title so far: Harvard, Princeton, Yale and Dartmouth.

Harvard at Cornell
Brown at Holy Cross - both teams greatly improved last game.
Fordham at Penn
Colgate at Princeton
Yale at Dartmouth - first game to determine the contenders from the middle-of-the-pack
Wagner at Columbia - not sure when Columbia will get a W, now that Savannah State (a peer of Columbia's on the HBCU side) got its first full-D-I win in football today since 2004. Just not this game, although Wagner is already weaker with a recent coach.

Colgate
Dartmouth - Yale has been OK. Dartmouth has been very good and their at home. Hope I'm wrong.

The Ivy League is currently 10-6 in OOC play and has winning records against both the CAA and the Patriot League. This is not your father's Ivy League, it's your grandfathers. I look for the Ivy League to continue its winning ways in OOC play. Here are my picks:

Harvard (by three touchdowns)
Brown- ( Brown usually is a slow starter but gets better as the season progresses)
Fordham (Penn doesn't have two miracles to use)
Princeton (the real Princeton was against Lehigh, not Coulumbia in the rain)
Yale ( this will be another signature victory for Reno to go with Army and Cal Poly)
Columbia ( good scheduling finally sets up Columbia to end the streak. Bagnoli won't let this opportunity go by)

Yale at Dartmouth - first game to determine the contenders from the middle-of-the-pack


Unless Yale gets some injured players back for Saturday, it's very difficult to see how Yale can stay within single digits of Dartmouth.

I had a feeling about Brown, but went against my first instinct.

I did not have that same feeling about Princeton but they are starting to make me believe they could seriously contend. Makes me wonder what happened last year.

Harvard 40, Cornell 3
Brown 25, Holy Cross 24 - it was really that close.
Fordham 48, Penn 45 - I wonder how low Fordham should go down, given that other playoff contenders from the South, Intermountain West and Midwest choked this week.
Princeton 44, Colgate 20 - Surace predicted it (possibility of going undefeated), just two years late.
Dartmouth 35, Yale 3 - I was wrong xoopsx
Columbia 26, Wagner 3 - I was wrong once again. It's apparently the first time in a long time that Columbia and Rhody both won in the same week.
