According to the twitter, if we had swept MSU we’d be 7 right now:
?s=20Michigan State's sweep of Cornell is there as well. Big Red move up to 7 with two wins. Perhaps more interestingly, the rest of the Big Ten suffers a lot. OSU falls to 8. Notre and Penn State disappear from the bubble.

If Cornell's 0-1-1 vs. RPI and 1-1 vs. Colgate turned into 1-0-1 vs. RPI and 2-0 vs. Colgate, the Big Red would also be 7th, MSU notwithstanding.

not being 2-0 vs RPI is killer for how well we played those games.

...except for the parts we didn't.

Cornell is certainly at a disadvantage having to schedule games early in the season against out-of-conference opponents who have played ~4 games before Cornell has played their first. Not really sure anything can be done about this, however. Dartmouth/Harvard and Yale/Brown get around this problem by scheduling opening-weekend games against each other. But Cornell and Princeton, whose travel partners are non-Ivies, don't have this luxury.

The way to do it would be to rearrange the partners.
Cor/Drt
Hvd/Brn
Yal/Prn
or
Cor/Prn
Drt/Hvd
Brn/Yal
and
SLU/Clk
Cgt/Uni
RPI/Qpc
And play the league's travel partners home-and-home the first weekend of allowed Ivy games.
Or the Ivies could ya know, just drop the pretense and go to a normal schedule.
