1. The LaSalle game came right in the middle of a nearly-disastrous stretch of 7 losses including the 0-6 league start, so you don't get to include that in the amazing 2nd half of season you are looking for.

2. Penn was 6-5 and 146 in the rankings going into the first Princeton game. Ignoring the C. Florida game you dismiss because it doesn't suit your narrative, Penn would still have been 5-5 and ranked near its season ending rank of 171.

3. In the glorious 6-2 stretch to end the season they played 4 weekends:
1 - Sweep Cornell and Columbia at home (you have to agree that a team ranked 171 should sweep these two bad teams at home - a split would be below expectations)
2- Sweep Brown and Yale on road by big margins (played like top 75 team for a weekend)
3- Split Cornell and Columbia on road (no better than what you expect from a team ranked 171)
4 - Split Dartmouth and Harvard at home (no better than what you expect from a team ranked 171)

One hot road weekend is all you have for your narrative.
