Looking to the playoffs and who hosts, Cornell would host by beating Princeton and Brown; they are the only teams left with one loss. Brown and Yale now have two. Cornell has won the head-to-head with Yale, has yet to play @ Brown, Princeton. Brown won the head to head with Princeton. Yale won the head to head with Brown. Brown closes at Dartmouth so its Ivy schedule, a near-gimme. This is confusing. Made simpler if Cornell wins out or if we hadn't given Harvard its only win so far this season.

Cornell and Princeton are now guaranteed spots in the ILT. Complete list of possibilities in the main thread.
