reposting some great tweets by Mr James on tiebreakers:

Mike James‏@ivybball
Penn is the favorite right now. A win over COL would make it an overwhelming favorite but anything other than a COL sweep is fine or better.

Mike James‏@ivybball
In the vast, vast majority of scenarios, the 2/3 game is Harvard-Yale & Princeton is the 1, opening with, well, that's where things get fun.

Mike James‏@ivybball
Of course, there are also some crazier scenarios where a 3-7 team wins out, but let's treat those with the reasonableness they deserve.

Mike James‏@ivybball
So, for Yale, 8-6 is obviously in. 7-7 would be good so long as the Penn-Columbia loser loses one more game.

Mike James‏@ivybball
Given that Yale already is 0-2 vs PRIN & would likely be 0-2 vs HAR for this to be an issue, record vs other qualified teams would be rough.

Mike James‏@ivybball
If Yale needs a tiebreaker to qualify, it will have won at <= 1 game down the stretch. If that game isn't vs COL, it will split H2H breaker.

Mike James‏@ivybball
Harvard is pretty locked into the 2/3 game unless it loses out (& loses breakers) or makes up 2 gms (prob 3 given tiebreakers) on Princeton.

Mike James‏@ivybball
Princeton will be the 1-seed at 12-2 or better unless Harvard wins out & the other team the Tigers lose to isn't Columbia & gets the 4-seed.

With less than 7 hrs to tip, let's reset the Ivy race & provide the cheat sheet for understanding the impacts of various games this weekend.
