Four-Way Tie?

It's a longshot, but there's still a chance for a four-way tie at the top of the Ivy League standings with Harvard, Brown, Penn and Yale sharing the title with 5-2 records. Here's what has to happen:

• Harvard goes 0-2 against Penn and Yale
• Yale goes 2-0 against Princeton and Harvard
• Brown goes 1-1 against Dartmouth and Columbia
• Penn beats Harvard and loses to Cornell

The last time I wrote about a potential four-way tie at the top was in 1995 and if Dartmouth had been able to stop Princeton's final drive instead of allowing a field goal on the last play for a 10-10 tie (this was before overtime), Princeton, Cornell, Penn and Dartmouth would have shared the title. I'm not predicting this race will be nearly as dramatic.

Still mathematically in the race:
Harvard 5-0, 7-1
Brown 4-1, 7-1
Pennsylvania 4-1, 5-3
Yale 3-2, 4-4

Four-Way Tie
Harvard 5-2, 7-3
Brown 5-2, 8-2
Penn 5-2, 6-4
Yale 5-2, 6-4

Editor's Note: Argh! It's possible but I had to rework this thing a bunch of times to get it right. Hopefully I finally have ;-)
