Week 10 in the Ivy League saw the Fearful Forecast have a 3-2 record and finish 44-18 overall. For the 10th time in 10 weeks the Best Best came through as UNH had no trouble with Maine. Yale over Harvard was the "You Wouldn’t Want To Bet The Farm On" game and rightfully so. The Friday picks story told of a "really, really strong temptation" to go with Harvard, but unfortunately that's as far as it went.
The Roundup with a few thoughts:
Harvard 37, Yale 6
The Pick: Yale 21, Harvard 17
The Crimson defense held Yale QB Matt Polheums to 2-for-18 passing and Mike McLeod to 50 yards rushing, without a touchdown after 18 consecutive games when he reached the end zone. Yale had 109 yards of offense. That, my friends, is domination. For a few more looks at The Game, check out the Boston Globe story, another in the New York Times, and this from the New Haven Register.
Brown 30, Columbia 22
The Pick: Brown 34, Columbia 24
Bobby Sewall, the utility player who tortured Dartmouth last week, had 83 yards rushing and caught 12 passes for 83 more with a couple of touchdowns.
Pennsylvania 45, Cornell 9
The Pick: Penn 28, Cornell 14
Penn finished with its first losing season since 1991.
Holy Cross 27, Colgate 20
The Pick: Colgate 21, Holy Cross 20
With Bucknell's unlikely win over Fordham, Colgate lost a chance to share the Patriot League title when it let a lead slip away in the fourth quarter.
New Hampshire 39, Maine 14
The Pick: UNH 42, Maine 28
Hooray for one of the good guys as Ricky Santos finishes his career (barring an extremely unlikely playoff bid) third in FCS/I-AA career passing yardage and career touchdown passes.
