Yale beat Cornell and Columbia this weekend, which was not a surprise. Harvard swept Penn and Princeton, which was more of a surprise. Dartmouth was swept by the P's.

Harvard and Yale are now 8-4, while Dartmouth is 6-6. Even if they all end up 8-6 after next weekend, Harvard and Yale would have own the 2nd tiebreaker due to their victories against Princeton (and the additional win against Penn for Harvard).

As a result, all four participants for the Ivy Tournament are set. The four spots, though, are still up for grab.

With 2 games to go:
Princeton 10-2
Penn 9-3
Harvard 8-4
Yale 8-4

If Princeton beats Brown or Yale, they will get the #1 seed.

If Penn beats Brown and Yale, and Princeton gets swept, the Quakers get the #1 seed.

If Yale sweeps Penn and Princeton, then they will get the #1 seed. (beats everyone in head-to-head).

Harvard can get to 10-4 with a sweep of Cornell and Columbia, but cannot get the #1 seed due to tiebreak issues.

Since Cornell's campus shut down this morning due to a winter storm, the Big Red's game against Harvard and Columbia's game against Dartmouth have been cancelled and rescheduled for tomorrow.

Cornell will now host Harvard at 2:00 pm on Saturday 3/3/18 and Dartmouth at 2:00 pm Sunday 3/4/18.

Columbia will host Dartmouth at 2:00 pm on Saturday 3/3/18 and Harvard at 2:00 pm on Sunday 3/4/18.

The Harvard games will matter to the seeding of the Ivy Tournament, so the final four pairings won't be known until Sunday later afternoon.

Yale needs Princeton to get swept in order to be the #1 seed.

Why postpone Dartmouth-Columbia because there is bad weather in Ithaca?

If Cornell and Harvard don't want to face well-rested teams on Sunday, that's their tough luck.

'18 Women's Ivy Tournament

As of this morning:

Princeton:

" #1 seed for the Tournament, clinched at least a share of the Ivy Championship.

" Princeton will be sole Ivy Champion with a win over Yale, or a Penn loss to Brown.

" If Princeton loses to Yale and Penn beats Brown, then Penn and Princeton are co-champions.

Penn:

" Currently the #2 seed - cannot finish lower than 3rd or higher than 2nd.

" Penn can lock up 2nd with a win over Brown or a Harvard loss to either Columbia or Cornell.

" If Penn loses to Brown and Harvard sweeps, Harvard will be the #2 seed (win over #1 Princeton).

Harvard:

" Currently the #3 seed - can finish as high as 2nd or as low as 4th … see below:

Yale:

" Currently the #4 seed - can finish as high as 3rd.

" For Yale to be seeded third they need to beat Princeton (which they have done already) and for Harvard to lose to either Columbia or Cornell (who have four combined Ivy wins) - Yale seeded higher because of two wins over Princeton vs. Harvard's one

If Harvard loses to Cornell - Sundays games will not matter

If Harvard beats Cornell - then one of three paths still potentially open where we don't know the final seedings by tonight

Path A: Penn beats Brown - Penn 2nd

1.) Yale Beats Princeton - 3rd & 4th undecided - Harvard to 3rd with Win on Sunday- 4th with Loss

Path B: Penn loses to Brown

B1.) Yale Beats Princeton - then Harvard to 2nd seed if they beat Columbia & Penn 3rd, else Penn 2 - Yale 3 - Harvard 4

B2.) Yale Loses To Princeton - then Harvard to 2nd seed if they beat Columbia & Penn 3rd , else Penn 2 - Harvard 3 - Yale 4

If Penn beats Brown: Princeton 1 - Penn 2

HW YW: Sunday H/Col game: H Win: H3 - Y4 - Loss: Y3 - H4
HL YW: Y3 - H4
HW YL: H3 - Y4
HL YL: H3 - Y4

If Penn loses to Brown: Princeton 1

HW YW: Sunday H/Col game: H Win: H2 - P3 - Y4 - Loss: P2 - Y3 - H4
HL YW: P2 - Y3 - H4
HW YL: Sunday H/Col game: H Win: H2 - P3 - Y4 - Loss: P2 - H3 - Y4
HL YL: P2 - H3 - Y4

Just looked at the women's bracketology. Whoo boy do mids get screwed on that side. Makes the men's side look like it's the most objective, accurate process in the world.
