In reply to: Boston Lion 's message, "Columbia Wins at Dartmouth to Remain Undefeated in the Ivies" on 19:42:04 02/01/25 Sat

Question for smarter people:

How does Columbia (1) go undefeated in the Ivies at 7-0, (2) then beat Princeton by 8, and (3) then beat Harvard AT Harvard by 9 after leading virtually wire to wire and by as much as 19, and still get ranked five spots below H with H's ranking not taking a dent after the head-to-head loss to C?

I'm aware of the transitive fallacy, but, still, I would've thought that last Friday's resounding head-to-head win (not a squeaker) AT H would have caused more of a ripple.

Is this because of the two teams' results against common opponent, IU, whom H beat by 4 and C lost to by 10, despite leading IU very late in the game?

I straight-up acknowledge that I'm not a bb whiz and am obviously missing chunks here. So, can someone provide the "second-level" knowledge that makes this make sense? Thanks in advance.

in his own way he is even worse at coaching MBB as Mangurian was at coaching football. Mangurian almost killed football at Columbia, but Engles is on his way to doing him one better.

I'm really surprised after such a good start.

Engles better turn it around fast or he's going to be out of a job.
