Lindy's magazine doesn't do as much with the FCS as it did in the past but it has released its picks for the Ivy League, Patriot League and the rest of the Football Championships Subdivision for the 2019 season.
Thanks to a pair of very dedicated eyes, here's what Lindy's has to say:
1. Princeton
2. Yale
3. Dartmouth
4. Harvard
5. Penn
6. Columbia
7. Cornell
8. Brown
Green Alert Take: As expected, it's starting to look as if Dartmouth isn't going to be able to use the "We don't get any respect" line this year. ;-)
PATRIOT
1. Colgate (Preseason No. 10)
2. Holy Cross
3. Lehigh
4. Lafayette
5. Georgetown
6. Fordham
7. Bucknell
Green Alert Take: Colgate being picked first makes total sense given the struggles of the rest of the Patriot League the past several years. Being picked No. 10 with all the talent the Raiders lost? That might be a stretch.
Dartmouth's other two nonconference opponents were not projected to contend in a weak Pioneer Football League:
Marist was picked sixth.
Jacksonville was picked ninth.
