Subject: Re: Potential route to getting 2 Ivies into the FCS playoffs Author: Son of Eli [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 20:54:04 10/28/25 Tue In reply to: John Harvard 's message, "Re: Potential route to getting 2 Ivies into the FCS playoffs" on 15:00:27 10/27/25 Mon If Dartmouth wins out and Yale wins out they would both be going to the playoffs. Dartmouth would have the tie breaker for the automatic bid, but I believe an 8-2 Yale team (which beats Harvard and loses to Dartmouth by only one point on the road and to top 10 Lehigh on the road) would get an at-large bid.

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: 3 Ivy League schools in playoffs ? Author: Greenhorn [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:19:13 10/29/25 Wed Agree. No chance Ivy League gets more than one team in playoffs this year. There is a built in bias against the Ivies within the FCS rankings, Ivy teams play a weak out of league schedule, and with this being the first year Ivies will be allowed in the playoffs, I would bet that the playoff committee will want to see how one Ivy team fares before opening it up to more in future years.

Author: Go Green [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 06:20:11 10/30/25 Thu If Penn had beaten Lehigh, then 2015 *might* have seen three Ivy teams in the playoffs if we had been eligible. I mean, Dartmouth, Harvard, and Penn all shared the Lambert Cup that season.
