That's one way to frame it. I would put it this way: It is likely significant that Brown forced 4 turnovers while limiting mistakes on offense. Speaking to a Herald reporter after the game, DB Elias Archie said the team "talked about all week how (the Rams) weren’t very good with the ball. That’s something we practiced a lot during the week — trying to get the ball out — and it ended up paying off and helping us out." Perhaps we can give the Bears a little agency in making those fumbles and interceptions happen.

But I agree, Harvard should be ranked above URI given these results. There is definitely a bias against our league, and rankings are often slow to punish teams ranked so high going into the season. See: Notre Dame sticking around in the top 25 at 0-2 a few weeks ago.
