Still A Chance
The odds? Prohibitive. But Dartmouth is still mathematically alive in the Ivy League race. Here's one scenario borrowed from the Big Green game notes that would bring the title to Hanover:
The odds? Prohibitive. But Dartmouth is still mathematically alive in the Ivy League race. Here's one scenario borrowed from the Big Green game notes that would bring the title to Hanover:
Dartmouth defeats Harvard, Columbia defeats Yale, Cornell defeats Princeton, Brown defeats Penn
Next weekend:
Dartmouth defeats Cornell, Princeton defeats Penn, Harvard defeats Columbia, Yale defeats Brown
Nov. 12:
Dartmouth defeats Brown, Penn defeats Harvard, Yale defeats Princeton, Columbia defeats Cornell
Nov. 19
Dartmouth defeats Princeton, Cornell defeats Penn, Yale defeats Harvard, Columbia defeats Brown
The result would be a six-way tie at 4-3 featuring Dartmouth, Columbia, Harvard, Penn, Princeton and Yale. On the outside looking in would be Cornell and Brown, although there are scenarios where both of them could win as well.
One more thing from the Dartmouth notes:
If Penn and Harvard both win this weekend, not only would the Big Green be eliminated from the race, but the league champ could have no more than two losses.

The Harvard Crimson has a look at a season where Harvard football is starting to look less than invincible. From the column:In case Harvard does not win out, let’s revisit the last time the Crimson actually lost multiple games in a season.
Actually, this was not long ago. In 2012, Harvard dropped a 39-34 decision on the road against Princeton and fell to Penn in the penultimate game of the year, 30-21.Green Alert Take: Although the writer is correct in saying 2012 is not that long ago, it is a v-e-r-y long time ago in the context of the last time a team lost two games in a season ;-)
As detailed on BGA Premium last night, correspondent Bernard Goldberg and a crew from the award-winning HBO program Real Sports was at Memorial Field Wednesday filming a segment on how Dartmouth football prepares for the season and individual games without ever tackling in practice.
