Harvard might have clinched the Ivy title today.

Yale at Brown
Dartmouth at Cornell
Columbia at Harvard - I'm thinking of a Lamar-esque performance by the Crimson here... the Lamar team I'm describing here has humiliated NAIA opponents and SLC cellar-dwellers by large margins.
Penn at Princeton

Nah. The trend seems to be to give starters/key players a rest against Columbia and let backups get game experience. And even then, run pretty vanilla stuff. On Jake's Board, the Columbia faithful can see full and well that other teams are treating Columbia as if its a scrimmage.

As for Harvard, they most likely clinched a share of the title. Whether or not they win it outright or get a three-way share depends on Yale.

Agree. And also agree about Brown. They are a vastly better team than they were in Sept. and Yale will need to play better than they did today to win.

Just in time for the weekly Pick Anyone But Columbia or Cornell thread.

Why? This week's Ivy games are pretty dismal. Except maybe Yale-Brown.

Have to agree. Except the part about "maybe Yale-Brown." Yale will win easily.

This really hasn't been the Ivy's best year in terms of quantity of competitive games.

Hmm, it's already Thursday and this thread has been quiet. Maybe next week or the last week, there'll be no need for me to bump the Ivy threads on Thursdays or Fridays.

Four haves, four have-nots. Three-way tie possible if Dartmouth and Yale win out and Harvard loses to Yale.

Also, an undefeated season for Harvard is likely.

How many would that be for Murphy, three? Four?

Murphy has had two overall undefeated seasons ('01, '04) and three additional seasons where his teams went 7-0 in Ivy play ('97, '07, '11).

Yale 45 Brown 42 final

No chance to beat Harvard with this defense. Princeton will be a tossup like today, I think.

Well, at least the Eli held on. Varga ran wild again.

Harvard had three pick-sixes today against Columbia in 45-0 win. Hempel didn't play. Lots of subs got PT today.

Final Scores:
Yale 45, Brown 42 - so the Elis do not have a defense after all?
Dartmouth 42, Cornell 7 - uh huh, Cornell is the Ivies' version of a SLC cellar dweller?
Harvard 45, Columbia 0 - it all goes down to next week's game...
Princeton 22, Penn 17 - Penn's season is all but flushed down.
