In response to Old Bear
Don't sleep on the Bears, DP. They maybe better than you think. They did lose a starter for the season with an injury, but they the will compete.
I sleep on no one; you'll recall that I was far more worried about the Bears in the SEA last year than I was about the Tigers or Crimson (and for good reason, as it turned out), and with the offensive firepower they have, I definitely think they're one of the favorites to make the cut this year, particularly since Harvard is struggling. Nevertheless, if I'm going to discount my own team for having played three bad teams in a row, I have to discount yours for playing a whole season worth of them. Brown has played exactly one team that is currently over 150 in Sagarin; Penn has played three, and has two more coming up in non-conference (Villanova and Temple). Other than Cornell, who's almost as bad, Brown's schedule is 100 spots behind anyone else in the league.
