There was no scenario where Penn had an at large chance this year. The question was whether Princeton, Harvard, and Yale were top 100 teams. That is who the conversation was about. If Penn came out playing top 100 basketball. That would be a truly remarkable jump. Penn is playing about where they realistically could get to. The fact that they are close to the top of the league is because the top teams have played on the lower range of what could be expected.
Next year we can start thinking about playing the type of schedule that HYP played.
As for suggesting playing an easier schedule for at large purposes, you are right -- it won't help land an at large. An Ivy will need to play a tough OOC schedule and win most of them. And having 4 top 100 teams in the conference will help as well.
