Ouch

The Sports Network's Ivy League preview doesn't pick Dartmouth sixth, as most outlets have. No, it has the Big Green pegged for seventh. Here is the way TSN sees the race shaping up:

1. Harvard
2. Penn
3. Cornell
4. Yale
5. Brown
6. Princeton
7. Dartmouth
8. Columbia

Interestingly, while The Sports Network has Dartmouth ending up next-to-last in the league, the generally well-written capsule review of the team would seem to suggest a slightly higher finish.
TSN also has its Northeast Conference preview up, and that has Week Five opponent Sacred Heart slotted for next-to-last in the NEC.
The Sports Network had earlier tapped Week One opponent Butler for seventh in the Pioneer League and Holy Cross for third in the Patriot League.
Nick Schwieger was nine players on the St. Louis Rams roster who did not appear in yesterday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. He has been battling a slight turf toe. Columbia grad Jeff Adams did not play for the Cowboys. Box score
