The Ivy League football website summarizes the Ivy League championship scenarios today (LINK):

• Harvard and Princeton are both seeking to secure at least a share of the Ivy League title. Harvard can clinch a share with a win over Penn and a Princeton loss to Yale. Princeton can clinch a share with a win over Yale and a Harvard loss to Penn. 

• Harvard is the only team that can clinch the Ivy League’s automatic bid to the NCAA FCS Playoffs this weekend. The Crimson would need a win over Penn, a Princeton loss to Yale and a Dartmouth loss to Cornell.

Green Alert Take: Left unsaid is that regardless of what happens elsewhere, with a win at Cornell today Dartmouth will still have a chance at the Ivy League championship on the final day of the season. Brown, as well, can assure it remains in the championship picture with a win over Columbia.
