In response to SomeGuy
Your arguments are wholly circular. OK, home teams are winning most of the games so far in the Ivies, but 7 of the home games are Penn and Princeton, Cornell beat Dartmouth in its only home game, Dartmouth beat Brown in its only home game, Harvard beat Columbia in its only home game, and Yale beat Cornell in its only home game. So in general, it is fair to say that the better team has been winning irrespective of home and away. Forget the ratings--they cannot accurately adjust to the year off, the lack of any continuity from prior years and the lopsided disparity of quality of OOC schedules. Penn will be fine, because we have a good mix of athletes who can apply pressure and good shooters. Our weakness due to injury is in the middle, but Mosh has been surprisingly good. I will be surprised and disapppointed if Penn does not make the tournament whatever our ranking may be.
