The Wise Guys have spoken, installing Dartmouth as a 3-point favorite at home against Columbia. Elsewhere:
• Brown is a 3½-point favorite at Cornell.
• Harvard is a 7½-point favorite at Princeton.
• Yale is a 7-point favorite at home over Penn.
In games featuring Dartmouth's non-conference opponents, New Hampshire is a 20-point favorite at Stony Brook, Colgate is a 4½ -point underdog at Georgetown and Lehigh is a 3½ -point underdog at Bucknell.

The gauntlet has been tossed. This is from Columbia football:
The text above the headline reads:
Three Consecutive Weeks As The Nation's Best Red Zone Defense And Two Weeks As The Nation's Top Scoring Defense.

Dartmouth football has twice claimed the school's male Athlete of the Week award. Both times it has been wide receiver Paxton Scott. (LINK)
#
The FCS Football Xwitter site notes that there are just two undefeated FCS teams (Harvard at 5-0 and South Dakota State at 6-0). That's impressive but the site does point out that nine other teams have just one loss, in no small part because unlike Harvard and South Dakota State, they've played FBS teams.
The one-loss schools who were tripped up by FBS opponents: Delaware; Florida A&M, Furman, Lafayette, North Carolina Central, South Dakota; UIW, UT Martin and Western Carolina.

It used to be when your car had a dead battery you popped the hood and looked around helplessly for someone with a set of jumper cables and a good heart.
