In response to SomeGuy
But Yale doesn’t have a single win over a team that is at the level of any of Penn’s losses. Outside the top 100, both Yale and Penn are undefeated. All we know for sure is that Yale has played an easier schedule.
In the “my opponents’ record helps me” department, the best win by any team Yale has played is Vermont’s win over 223 Ball State today.
Set aside their games against Penn and Iona (Vermont), Missouri (SIU, Coastal Car.), Towson (UMass, Greensboro), Drexel (ODU) and West Virginia (Mount St. Mary’s, Pitt) all have better wins than that so far.
That will change Sunday when Yale plays Colorado since the Buffs have by far the best collection of wins in the early going (Tennessee, Texas A@M, UC-Riverside) of anyone on the Yale November schedule.
Penn this weekend meanwhile will add Colgate’s win over Syracuse and Delaware’s win today over Colgate on its opponents’ ledger.
Beyond that it doesn’t look like Penn will get the Big Five boost it can normally expect given how the other city teams have started out. Temple with its two Top 50 wins over Villanova & Rutgers is the lone exception—St. Joe’s & LaSalle still don’t even have a top 200 win, and Villanova’s only one in that category is over the #195 Explorers (and who’s buying that VU is even a top 100 team given their play so far, let alone #46).
