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.

If Harvard loses to Yale and Dartmouth, can a n 8-2 Crimson gain an at large bid?

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.

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.

No, not with Harvard's weak of conference schedule they played.
