Yale and Columbia are both riddled with injuries. Going to pick Yale without much confidence.

If Dartmouth doesn't win this Saturday, we might as well just declare that 6-1 is the best we can do in league play henceforth.

Princeton gets back to blowing teams out.

Penn finally blows teams out.

Yale (Yale is fortunate to be playing a team that’s even more banged up then they are).
Dartmouth (the curse will be broken)
Princeton (game will be closer then expected)
Penn (see Princeton-Cornell)

The Dartmouth football website says they’re expecting a sellout crowd on Saturday (at least if that nor’easter doesn’t make an appearance).

That's a big "if" there...

Actually, no. I remember games that are actually memorable, win or lose.

If Dartmouth and Princeton win this weekend, thoughts on the size of the crowd that would end up at the Dartmouth/Princeton game at Princeton Stadium to see the two undefeateds plays?

15,000?

hopefully higher but wouldn't be surprised at the 15,000 figure

note: Capacity = 27,773

As always with Ivy games, it depends on the weather.

Beautiful day, maybe 15-20k

Rain, wind, cold = 10k or less

Dartmouth finally breaks the Harvard jinx, winning 24-17 in Hanover.

Now comes the fun part. :)

I'm sure Princeton will be. They're playing at home, and arguably have more style points. But we've had their number in recent years...

Dartmouth had a few key guys shaken up today. They returned, and I hope they are 100% for next week. We will need them.

If there’s any consolation, Harvard didn’t quit in either of the past two games. Turnovers and slow starts hurt again. We will probably end up at 5-5 again.

5-5 looks probable for Yale now.
