Ivy League Week 2 - 2014 Season

[bonarae]

Sorry for not putting this up earlier. I was ill with the flu.

Harvard at Brown - no questions.
Columbia at Albany - no match
Cornell at Bucknell
Dartmouth at New Hampshire
Villanova at Penn
Davidson at Princeton - so much for Davidson's humiliating OOC...
Army at Yale

[Pard4Life]

Davidson still has a humiliating OOC... Princeton lost to a Pioneer League team...

Though, Princeton should thoroughly humiliate Davidson... it would not surprise me to see Princeton 84, Davidson 0... a score more from 1914 than 2014.

Yale over Army.. hmm, too close to call...

If Dartmouth beats UNH, it would be the earthquake of the year on AGS... everyone's logic rubric would implode! An Ivy beating a ranked CAA?

Albany 11, Columbia 4 (when do you ever see that)

Bucknell 69, SUNY Ithaca 0

Dartmouth 21, UNH 20

Villanova 225, Penn 0 (breaks Georgia Tech's record vs. Cumberland)

Davidson 7, Princeton 0

Yale 28, Army 24 (make it a good game for a classic match-up)

You nailed it, bulldog. I just don't see Yale beating Army, although stranger things have happened!

Army is coming into that game with a nasty attitude.....bad loss at Wake Saturday.

This has to be the toughest OOC week(Army, Nova and UNH) for the Ivies in a long, long time. Great to see actually.

At the beginning of season, fans probably would have signed up for a 2-2 September. Army plays at Yale this Saturday. A game, it should win even if Yale scored 54 points against Lehigh in its opener Saturday. But, Army should be playing to equal its 2013 win total against Yale. The Wake Forest loss could be a game that costs Army a bid to the Armed Forces Bowl. The Black Knights need to win at least four of its next six games to stay on pace for bowl eligibility (six wins).

Cornell @ Bucknell
Dartmouth @ New Hampshire

I liked the old Harvard Crimson reporter who always projected a 23-2 Harvard win, regardless of the opponent!

I think Davidson would rather be playing Columbia this week.

A crowd of about 40,000 is expected. Ticket sales were up to 15,000 last week.


Put me down as skeptical. If they get 25k it would be great. 40k, I would be shocked. Pleasantly shocked, but still shocked.

Well at least the NCAA did one thing right:


Originally, a three-game series was scheduled. Yale was supposed to play at Army in 2010 and 2012, and then at Yale this year to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Bowl. But because Army is a scholarship program and Yale is not, the Black Knights needed a waiver to remain Bowl eligible in the FBS. The NCAA did not award the waiver for the 2010 and 2012 games, so Army had to back out. This year’s game remained scheduled and Army was granted the waiver.

What I'd like to see happen:
Harvard over Brown in a close game
Albany over Columbia big
Bucknell over Cornell big
Dartmouth over UNH big
Penn over nova in a close one
Princeton over Davidson big
Yale over Army in a close one

What will happen:
Harvard over Brown big
Albany over Columbia big
Bucknell over Cornell in a close one
UNH over Dartmouth big
Nova over Penn big
Princeton over Davidson big
Army over Yale big

Guess this goes to show you that the novelty of Ivy football is not dead... the teams just have to play somebody!

So you're saying the Bullfrogs have a chance..?

Maybe a one in dozens of trillions chance. ;)

Yale 38, Army 35

Final Scores:

Yale 49, Army 43 OT - sad to see this game become the last of its kind for the Ivies for the meantime. xsmhx
Villanova 41, Penn 7 - there is a justification for the Ivies' watering down of their future OOC. but games like this one are the ones that matter to the fans, not the coaches and admins. xsmhx
Harvard 22, Brown 14 - great come-from-behind win for the Crimson.
Albany 42, Columbia 7 - see Villanova
UNH 52, Dartmouth 19 - see Villanova for an explanation
Princeton 56, Davidson 17 - games like this one will become routine in the future.
Bucknell 20, Cornell 7 - Bucknell is really on the rise...

The Ivy can play with the bottom of the FBS.

We can't play with the top of the FCS.
