Yale (-1) at Columbia
Brown at Cornell (-5.5)
Dartmouth at Penn (-18.5)
Harvard at Princeton (-10)
This weekend should determine whether Yale is a contender or a pretender. Friday's key game should be the battle of the Joneses in NYC, while the game of the weekend should be Saturday night's Yale at Cornell tilt. A Yale sweep, while highly unlikely, would mean that only 4 very winnable home games would stand in the way of the Elis coming to the Palestra in early March with an 11-1 first-place record.

This is going to be a huge weekend, I'm looking forward to it (wish there was an Ivy Directv package). Yale Columbia and Yale Cornell could both go either way, and should be the best games of the weekend. Their travel partner Brown has an outside chance to upset either of the C's but it will require a solid effort from both MacDonald and McAndrew.
Penn should have no trouble dispatching either foe. Their armor is chinked after the Yale loss, so they can't afford to come out sleepwalking and give Pattman the opportunity to keep them competitive.
The Harvard Princeton line totally surprises me, as I expect that to be a fairly competitive and low scoring game. Cussworth is done for Harvard, but is he playing for Princeton now?

Could be Cusworth's last stand.
