In response to SomeGuy
If the league plays and Yale & Harvard do not field teams, KenPom would have Princeton as the favorite with would be the favorite with Cornell, Penn and Brown in the next tier.
Cornell and Dartmouth usually exceed expectations, but it tends to happen after a few months of lesson learning. Don't know how well they would do if starting the year in conference play.
With Penn's strong starts in non-conference play the last few years, perhaps they would benefit most by starting off in league play.
Brown lost a number of talented players, but Martin finds a way to reload. No matter when league play begins, they should have lots of close games. I often feel that the fast pace takes its toll on the team as the year goes on. A shortened season may make these guys a more dangerous team.
If Gabe is healthy, there should be a solid rotation at Columbia. With all the injuries and close losses over the last few years, it's hard to know when their luck might change. Maybe a no-lose season like this can be the thing to change the team's fortunes.
