Like they said in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, they’re not dead yet.
One scenario follows. There may be others but I haven’t worked through the tiebreakers.
Princeton sweeps Brown and Yale.
Harvard and Dartmouth both sweep the NY teams. (*Or Harvard sweeps and Dartmouth beats Columbia)
Princeton would finish 6-8, the C’s at 5-9*, Brown at either 4-10 or 5-9 depending on if they beat Penn.
I am pretty sure Princeton would lose all tiebreakers with Columbia.
*If Cornell beats Harvard they’d have the tiebreak over Princeton with that win. If they lost to Harvard but beat Dartmouth, I think Princeton would have the tiebreak based on a sweep of Yale.
So of the 8 remaining games, 5 would have to break right; Penn-Yale, Penn-Brown and Cornell-Dartmouth would be irrelevant.
Odds are low. But stranger things have happened (often) in this league.
Anyone disagree with my math?
