Interesting season. At 1-3 each, Yale, Penn and Princeton are unlikely possibilities for the league title. At 3-1, Dartmouth, Harvard and Columbia are likely. Brown and Cornell at 2-2 are probably outliers unless one of them sweeps.
Let's start with Cornell and Brown:
Cornell: Penn, Dartmouth, @Columbia
Brown: @Yale, Columbia, @ Dartmouth
Unlikely either Cornell or Brown wins out, and a 4-3 league record won't do it. Note that each plays one-loss Dartmoutn and Columbia twice. A few wins will help Harvard.
Columbia: @Harvard, @Brown, Cornell
Dartmouth: @Princeton, @Cornell, Brown
Harvard: Columbia, @Penn, Yale
Saturday's Columbia visit to Harvard is important, but not determinative. Dartmouth, without games against it's co-leaders, seems to have a path to the (co)title.
Not to diminish Penn and Yale, but if Harvard beats Columbia Saturday it avoids the current top 4 remaining contenders, which should bode well, although @Penn and The Game are never locks.
Prediction:
Harvard > Columbia
Dartmouth > Princeton
would put Dartmouth and Harvard in control at 4-1 with both expected to win out for a 6-1 tie.
