BGA Overtime had a notes column last night that led off with New Hampshire coach Ricky Santos' thoughts on Dartmouth and the FCS playoffs after the Big Green's impressive season-opening win. Tonight the Overtime will have its weekly Six Pack of thoughts after one game, and tomorrow be prepared for The Optimist and The Pessimist. The it all on BGA Overtime here.

From Dartmouth football:
Dartmouth vs. UNH. The recap. 🎬 #GoBigGreen | #TheWoods🌲 pic.twitter.com/nLeYDJCeAH

Green Alert Take: I like the idea of a weekly video recap but call me old-fashioned, I prefer the look from above showing entire plays with just a few cut-ins from field level. Bang, bang, bang clips make me dizzy. ;-)
#
The Dartmouth appears to have a promising writer covering the Big Green this fall if a story under the headline Dartmouth completes comeback to beat UNH 27-20 is any indication.
#
The Manchester Union Leader has a piece under the headline Granite Bowl Notebook: Crowther comes up big in Dartmouth win; UNH's Ramshaw out for season.

If you are a regular visitor to this electronic precinct you know I'm not a fan of the How It Happened school of sports information. If you are, check out the UNH posting HERE.

Hopefully you clicked through and read the BGA Ivy League football wrap yesterday. The Ivy League does its own minimal wrap-up HERE.

It's always interesting to see how the first action of the year changes computer rankings, in this case those compiled by Jeff Sagarin. What follows is the current ranking of Ivy League teams followed in parentheses by what their ranking were Sept. 1. A total of 265 Division I programs are ranked.
119 Harvard (146)
126 Yale (155)
142 Dartmouth (169)
179 Penn (188)
187 Brown (245)
219 Princeton (185)
229 Columbia (200)
234 Cornell (230)
Green Alert Take: I get Ivy League teams that won moved up. What I don't get is how just far Brown moved up with a solid win over what was at best a so-so Georgetown team.
In case you are curious, here's where Dartmouth's non-league opponents sit right now:
156 New Hampshire
222 Central Connecticut
254 Fordham
Sagarin has Dartmouth as a eight-point favorite this week at Central Connecticut.

EXTRA POINT
It's yet another blue-sky morning here in the Upper Valley but depending on which service you believe, we could have rain (or at least a few showers) tomorrow through Sunday. I love sunny days as much as anyone and it helps us bank credit with the power company thanks to our solar tracker, but I do hope the forecasts have it right this time. We are in desperate need to rain.
