Well, I can't believe I have to say this, but the comment about having three more games was tongue-in-cheek (and an attempt to rib gently), which I thought I made plain. I suppose it didn't land. I'm not sure what from the second post looked arrogant; I said Yale played well on offense, which they'll need to do if they want to win the ILT (not to say that they definitely will win with good offense, but they definitely won't without it), and then I said Penn was reeling. If the latter is what you viewed as presumptuous, all I can say is that Penn has pretty obviously struggled in its most recent games, especially on defense. Penn is 1-3 in its last 4, with the only win being on a buzzer-beater against Brown. On defense, Penn has given up 88 to Brown, 84 to Dartmouth, and 93 to Princeton. That's a pretty substantial departure from their previous form, in my opinion.
None of this means I think Yale will definitely win! For one thing, Yale is a flawed team (like all the rest of the Ivies), and just because Penn is struggling doesn't mean they can't turn it around - in fact, Stevie D is one of the coaches I would trust most to accomplish that.
