In response to T.P.F.K.A.D.W.
SOS is pretty equal and will be very equal down the stretch (essentially only difference is Brown-Columbia swapping out and those two are very close in the rankings).
The crux of it is that Yale is a MUCH better team. The Bulldogs are not only favored over Cornell at home, they're also a 2-pt favorite in Ithaca. Then every weekend they have better odds than Cornell as well. Cornell is 9% to sweep the Ps at home, Yale is roughly 25% (key weekend for tiebreakers).
Very similar to why Penn last year still had decent odds at 0-5 and even at 0-6 still had better odds to make the Ivy tourney (7%) than 2-4 Cornell (3%), leading me to say this at the time:

If Cornell wins, I'm not looking forward to having to explain how a 3-3 team has lower odds to make the Ivy tourney than an 0-5 team. Mike James added,
