In response to PennFan10
I don't believe that Penn overperformed or Harvard underperformed last year. Both performed.
Reasonable estimations have all of Princeton, Harvard and Yale as Top 75-100 teams. I don't see how Penn is a Top 75-100 team without significant contributions from freshmen. Harvard last year had a very similar starting point (its season was actually EERILY similar to Penn's 16-17 campaign), a better player returning from a year's absence, got historic performance from its freshman class and still didn't finish Top 100.
Now, if you think that none of HYP will be Top 100 teams, then I think Penn has a chance to be in that conversation.
