To see what the Ivy League is missing, click here for the College Sporting News bracket and overview of the NCAA playoffs. Please do not forget that Penn, which is not allowed to go the the playoffs by Ivy League decree, dropped a 14-3 decision to No. 2 Villanova in the opening game of the year. Nova had just one touchdown from scrimmage in that game. Villanova and Holy Cross play tomorrow. Also on top tomorrow, New Hampshire at McNeese State.
Speaking of UNH, I missed this during the season but they can change it to SIX:
The legendary Fifth Down Game between Dartmouth and Cornell has been brought up in a lot of different contexts over the years. Now it is mentioned in this Wall Street Journal story with regard to the infamous hand ball in the World Cup qualifying soccer match between Ireland and France. What isn't often mentioned is something I saw in an interview with one of the Cornell players from the game. He says that yes, Cornell did the right thing giving the victory back to Dartmouth because of the extra down. But he contends that the feeling on the Cornell side was that Dartmouth wouldn't accept the victory and would let the game stand. Guessed wrong on that one, huh?
