In response to HARVARDDADGRAD
League has still been deceptively strong at the top. Harvard (66), Yale (65), Penn (62) all are playing well from a game score perspective - we haven't had Ivies throw up an average game score in the 60s in November since 11/2015.
I know expectations vary around here and that we haven't seen a dominant November team since 2012 and 2014 Harvard, which is feeling like a long, long time ago now.
But we've seen a bunch of highly competitive Tier I and II games from four different Ivy teams. I'm incredibly disappointed in what I've seen out of Princeton, but otherwise, there's a strong top three (with two of the three apparently deep enough to still be strong while overcoming key injuries), a few fun, frisky teams in Dartmouth, Brown and Cornell and a Columbia team that we knew would be pretty bad. All in all, I feel marginally positive about what I've seen thus far.
