I haven't seen it yet, but it's been reported elsewhere on the web that the Lindy's preseason annual is out and has the 2009 Ivy League race projected this way:
1. Harvard
2. Penn
3. Brown
4. Princeton
5. Columbia
6. Yale
7. Cornell
8. Dartmouth
Given last year's record, I understand where the pollsters are coming from. And yes, this is a preseason poll that doesn't really mean anything. It's the end of the season that matters.
All that said, maybe it's time for the team to take its cue from Howard Beale in Network and say it: "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!"
As for the rest of the poll I've got no complaints. Columbia being pegged for fifth ahead of Yale is a bit of a surprise, but you can make that case without too much trouble.
