"Bold" predictions normally turn out to be wrong -- extremely unlikely. Just look at CBS preseason ranking for the Tigers (#143) and Yale (#80) which speaks to the inability to properly rank teams in the preseason.
I believe that they had the right guy on the cover, Cook, as he will be a major factor in their final RPI ranking. One of the few guys in the league that can shut down Mason or Chambers if need be, play point on 1-3-1 defense and create havoc, guard 6'6-7" scoring forwards, make 3 pt shots and thunderous slam dunks. He may have an outside chance for POY although unlikely with the Tiger system of sharing the ball and being unselfish.

Where are you seeing those rankings? CBS's 1-351 rankings has the Tigers at 54, Harvard at 67 and Yale 105

2015 not 2016 preseason rankings. Always a reality check as to seeing how it turned out vs. what was predicted.

USA Today current Coaches Poll has Yale tied for #46. No votes for Princeton or Harvard.
