I'm not sure that we've seen enough to call Penn the "most talented team." Yes, they had an impressive win against Drexel but the poundings they took from PC and Wisconsin were very un-Pennlike. I'm used to seeing Penn make good showings in games like these.

Princeton had good showings against Bucknell & Syracuse but looked ugly against Wyoming & Lafayette. This kind of ugly performance early in the season is not untypical of recent Princeton teams.

I would still give the nod to the experience and talent of Princeton at this point. I think they are still getting used to Scott's style of play and will gel down the road as the Ivy season approaches.

Also, I find it somewhat confusing that Princeton has only one player (Venable) in your top 15 Ivy players and yet is ranked second as a team. Is it their bench that makes them so good? Team chemistry? Coaching?
