It’s Friday, and that means it’s time to once again see how the ancient eight football teams stack up in this week’s edition of our Ivy power rankings. Last week there were some great games, as Penn, Yale, Harvard and Brown each had solid victories, with Yale and Harvard each getting key mid-season wins against Ivy opponents. On the flip side, the struggles continued with our favorite Lions, while Dartmouth, Princeton and Cornell also followed suit with losses of their own. However, just because a team lost doesn’t mean they’ll lose their spot—just ask the Lions! Follow the jump to see how this week’s list shakes out.

1. Harvard 3-1 overall (2-0, Ivy. Last week’s rank, 1)

With a solid Ivy victory against Cornell last week, Harvard easily retains the top spot in the power rankings. Despite a back-and-forth game, the Crimson’s quarterback, Colton Chapple, out dueled arguably the best QB in the league in Cornell’s Jeff Mathews by throwing for 414 yards and four touchdowns. That’s a lot. Might be tough to knock these guys off the top spot with the way they’re playing right now.

2. Yale 3-1 (2-0, LW 2)

While Harvard did battle for three quarters against Cornell before pulling away, they beat a pretty good team. Yale, didn’t have that problem against one of the worst teams in the league, as they absolutely demolished Dartmouth, shutting them out 30-0 and running rampant for 273 yards on the ground. Those are pretty scary numbers, so they’re really knocking on Harvard’s door to try and take that top spot.

3. Penn 2-2 (1-0, LW 4)

Penn moves up one place on the rankings this week as they had a solid victory against Fordham, taking a second quarter lead and never looking back. They looked poised to start 2-0 in Ivy play as they will try to ruin our homecoming tomorrow afternoon. Look for them to try to control the clock with their running game, as their quarterback Billy Ragone is ranked seventh in the league in passing yards.

4. Brown 3-1 (0-1, LW 5)

Brown came back in the fourth quarter to score 10 points to beat a Holy Cross team that in week 1 beat Harvard. By the rule of transitivity, that’s good enough in my book to bring them up at least a spot from where they were last week—although I’m not completely sold that they’ll finish ahead of Cornell. They should get a victory against Princeton tomorrow, as they’re on a fairly hot streak and playing at home.

5. Cornell 2-2 (0-2, LW 3)

Cornell drops two spots on the list after losing that back-and-forth game to Harvard. They held a lead four times in the game, but they showed that they’re not quite ready to play with the big-boys by falling out of it in the fourth quarter. However, with Jeff Matthews still at the helm and games against Yale and Harvard out of the way, I expect that they’ll win most—if not all—of the rest of their Ivy games.

6. Princeton 1-3, (1-0, LW 7)

Even in losing 28-23 Princeton didn’t look as bad as the rest of the teams on this list. They will continue to struggle as even though they are ranked third in both total offense and total defense, they’re ranked seventh in both scoring offense and scoring defense. A big part of that is their turnover margin, which at -6 is ranked last in the league.

7. Columbia 0-4, (0-1, LW 8)

I may just be finding excuses to move these guys up and talk about them in a somewhat positive light for once, but at least the Lions were somewhat competitive in this game. They led early 6-3, and then 13-6 in the second quarter, before sloppy play killed them again. But, even so, at least they scored and were competitive. That’s enough to move them up this week.

8. Dartmouth 1-3, (0-2, LW 6)

Losing a game to Yale is one thing—they’re a very good team. But to get shut out? C’mon, that’s just ridiculous. Dartmouth couldn’t even score in garbage time, after Yale had put in their backup quarterback, and thus tumble into the basement this week. They may stay there too, if they can’t figure out a way to at least be competitive against Holy Cross this week.
