In response to mrjames
I think a legit question with Harvard is whether you can discount the OOC performance and just say the Ivy season indicates how good they are. Agreed they were close to a top 100 team in conference. When you look at how low the KP ratings were at the top of the league, it is really surprising that we had two 12-2 teams.
That probably happened for good reasons — whatever Tommy was doing with the lineups OOC either worked to make his point or stopped holding the team back. They figured out how to play without Aiken (though frankly the way the season developed kind of makes me wonder whether they have figured out how they to play WITH Aiken). But maybe both halves of the season mean something, and overall they really were just a KP 155.
For next year, while I drew HDG’s ire a bit by saying I’m not conceding anything as a penn fan, if I was a Harvard fan I certainly wouldn’t be conceding anything either. I still think that, in a sense, the fact that you’re talking about a two year plan is too long given the quality if recruits over the last 3. So it still feels to me like Harvard SHOULD be dominant right now. I certainly think they could be right away next year.
