The Ivy League’s late start to the season hinders the scheduling of quality OOC opponents. By the third week of October most teams are in conference play.

Good point, SOE.
To that end, the four Ivy teams that play OOC in their "week 5" (which is week EIGHT for the rest of FBS/FCS) would be well-served to swap that OOC game with their week 4 Ivy game.
In Yale's case, that would push the Dartmouth game to one week later (Cornell vs. Harvard is the other week 4 league game).
Doing so would alleviate the current problem of finding teams that aren't already playing a conference schedule in their eighth week of their season.

Gentlemen; Tough choice over Saint Margarets School for The Blind.

Harvard needed overtime to beat Merrimack

Dartmouth has lost to Sacred Heart

Columbia and Cornell have lost to Georgetown

Penn needed overtime to beat Georgetown

Brown has lost to Stetson

I'm not recalling Yale or Princeton having an embarrassing OOC performance (although I'm happy to be reminded). And I expect Yale to do just fine against Stonehill. But if they don't take Stonehill seriously, they could end up on this list as well.

That's true SOE, but if I remember correctly, the games against Richmond and Mercer were Yale's fifth game those seasons. The difference is planning a schedule a few years ahead vs. last minute scrambling.

And there were other factors like making adjustments in order to schedule UConn.

If this was the cost of canceling the Mercer series to play Uconn in 2021 it was worth it. However, going forward I’m hoping for a return to more competitive scheduling by Yale. Two Patriot and one CAA opponent is a good formula to follow.
