In response to HARVARDDADGRAD
I guess we on this thread disagree on whether Yale slides in between Harvard and Penn.
I think the question is more whether Yale is on par with Harvard or whether they are at least a couple of notches behind.
Rating Yale as a co-favorite, which is what Torvik is doing, assumes a whole lot of good things happening for Yale that I don't think is warranted. You want to still slot Yale between Harvard and Penn? Fine by me though I'm not sure about it - it might be overselling Yale and underselling Penn.
Harvard is the favorite headed into the season IMO.
For what it's worth, Princeton's KP rating was better than Yale's last year. And Princeton doesn't have a bare cup board. Penn is returning the 2nd best player in the league plus 3 other starters. So how does Torvik have Yale's odds so high? I'm not buying it.
