In response to SRP
There have been a number of surprises so far this year including injuries, the ups and downs of some teams (Penn, Harvard, Princeton, surprises (Brown and Darthmouth) etc. The pre-season projections for teams 1-8 may turn out to be inaccurate. Personally, I do not believe that current Kenpom rankings are how the field will wind up. There is also an obvious and major wild card - the potential return of Aiken and Towns and how they will perform.
With all that said and I am probably wrong, it seems that Yale has the edge unless more suprises are on the way which is distinctly possible. As you commented, we will know a lot more after the upcoming head to head games. I suspect that there are surprisingly 6 teams in the running for a realistic shot for IvyMadness. Question is can some team runaway from the field -- it is also possible.
Time will tell. Should be an excellent and competitive IL regular season.
