Harvard 31, Penn 28
Trailing by 14 points in the third quarter and missing its starting quarterback after a first-quarter injury, Harvard rallied to tie the game midway through the fourth quarter and won it by driving 68 yards to set up Dylan Fingersh 21-yard field goal as time expired. Combined with Dartmouth's loss at Cornell, the win gave the Crimson (8-1, 5-1) at least a share of its second Ivy League title in as many seasons.

Stepping in for Jaden Craig, Charles DePrima completed 13-of-18 passes for 169 yards and one touchdown and ran 20 times for 122 yards and another score to lead Harvard, which got 11 catches for 129 yards from Cooper Barkate. Malachi Hosley carried 17 times for 143 yards for Penn (4-5, 2-4), which got 171 yards and three touchdowns through the air from Liam O'Brien. Bisi Owens caught three passes for 107 yards and two touchdowns for the Quakers, who missed a 46-yard field goal with 1:55 left. The game drew 12,286 to Franklin Field.

Columbia 21, Brown 12
The Lions (6-3, 4-2) stayed alive in the Ivy League race with freshman Caleb Sanchez throwing for 241 yards and three touchdowns in his first career start. Bryson Canty caught six passes for 183 yards and TDs of 55 and 52 yards while teammate Joey Giorgi ran for 107 yards.

Mark Mahoney caught 12 passes for 120 yards for Brown (3-6, 2-4), the only team to defeat Harvard this fall. The Bears' lone touchdown came with 1:37 remaining in front of a crowd of 2,976 on senior day in Providence. 

Yale 42, Princeton 28
Yale erased a 28-21 Princeton lead with 21 unanswered points in a 10-minute span  in front of 7,594 in New Haven. Josh Pitsenberger ran for 159 yards and two touchdowns and caught at TD pass to pace the Bulldogs (6-3, 3-3). Inumidun Ayo-Durojaiye had two sacks, a forced fumble that Ejiroghene Egodogbare ran in for a score, an interception and nine tackles to lead the Yale defense.

Princeton (2-7, 1-5) got 267 yards and one touchdown passing from Blaine Hipa and seven catches for 108 yards from AJ Barber but lost for the fourth straight week.
