Harvard is a 15-point favorite over Cornell
Penn is a 6-point favorite over Sacred Heart.
Columbia is a 1-point favorite over Central Connecticut.
Holy Cross is a 15-point favorite over Brown.

There are just five undefeated teams left in the FCS and three are in the Ivy League:
North Dakota State 5-0
Villanova 6-0

Yale 3-0

Green Alert Take: The Ivy League will have two unbeaten left at the most after Saturday with Dartmouth and Yale squaring off in Hanover.
