Ivy League Week 1 2016

Post by bonarae »

And there you have it, folks, the Ivies are finally kicking off yet another season of some subtle changes but even more of unfulfilled wishes waiting to be taken action at all. :thumbdown:

Game Lineup:
FRIDAY NIGHT
Rhody at Harvard - Crimson should win easily. Rhody was outmatched in its first two games (by an FBS and a partially-ranked FCS).
SATURDAY
St. Francis at Columbia - despite the Red Flash playing ugly to start the season (they lost their leads in the second halves of their previous games against the Griz and Towson), they should get the W here against an unproven Lions team.
Brown at Bryant - not sure if Bryant has the better team in this matchup; they kept the Bozeman 'Cats in close range but they couldn't upset them.
Colgate at Yale - 'Gate had a bye this week. But they kept Syracuse from scoring a lot.
Lehigh at Penn - Lehigh kept 'Nova close but couldn't sustain its halftime lead. Penn has a lot of uncertainties.
Lafayette at Princeton - not sure what to say about the 'Pards here...
Cornell at Bucknell - Bucknell has more style points here.
UNH at Dartmouth - I don't think Dartmouth still has an edge in the final game of this series for the foreseeable future. UNH leapfrogged the Cross in the 4th quarter of their game.
All the Ivy League needs to become relevant again is to diversify its OOC schedule.
