In response to PennFan10
OOC, it has been a different season from what we expected. Nobody except maybe P38 thought Princeton, Harvard, and Yale would all be outside the top 100 this year. Princeton may have righted the ship, Harvard has some good peripherals, and Yale still could get Mason back. But if none of those things happen, this could really be a wide open race where Harvard is close enough to the Ps to win the regular season with a 170 Pomeroy rank, and close enough to Columbia, Cornell, and Brown to come in 5th. Just a weird year with parity when I for one thought the gap between the top 3-4 in the league and the rest was widening. At least for half a season, it has shrunk.
I think in the end we wind up with the same 4 playoff participants as last year. But I'm not nearly as confident of that as I was at the start of the season. Should be a fun ride.
