The four tournament teams are set - just seedings left to determine.
Assuming Columbia & Princeton win out – both will be 3-1 vs Penn & Harvard who are likely to end up tied for third. The Lions are rooting for Penn not to finish alone in third, as that would give the Tigers a tiebreaker advantage and Princeton is rooting for Harvard not to finish alone in third, as that would give the Columbia a tiebreaker advantage
So most likely outcome
1. Columbia – on better NET Rating than Princeton
2. Princeton – on lower NET Rating than Columbia
3. Penn - as they swept fifth place Yale
4. Harvard – as they split with fifth place Yale
If Harvard beats Princeton and Penn does not:
1. Columbia
2. Princeton
3. Harvard
4. Penn
If Penn beats Princeton and Harvard does not:
1. Columbia
2. Princeton
3. Penn
4. Harvard
If Harvard & Penn both beat Dartmouth & Princeton – so 3 way second place tie at 10-4
1. Columbia
2. Harvard – as they are 3-1 vs. P&P
3. Penn – as they are 2-2 vs. H&P
4. Princeton as they are 1-3 vs P&P
