In response to bradley
Yes, although the bunching in the middle of pomeroy means that 3rd and 4th will be a lot closer to #1 than last year. So on court in the Ivy tournament, there is an even better chance of competitive games than last year (when the games were competitive). There also won’t be as much of a seeding difference as there would have been last year with an upset. You are probably right about likely seedlings, but I could see Penn as a 15 and Harvard as a 16 if things broke badly for the league. Curious whether Princeton or Yale could help their profiles by winning out, too. Anybody else would be a 16 for sure.
To the point i’ve Made in the past about how more games added by a tourney may provide more information that better determines the league winner and NCAA rep, that will l8kely be true if Harvard or Penn wins the tournament, regardless of who gets the #1 Seed. It probably will not be true if 3 or 4 wins, but to me that’s what makes it fun.
