Cornell is picked to finish 7th in preseason Ivy football poll.

If the current recruiting pace can continue, Cornell has a good future going forward.

[billhoward]

We play our Ivy opponents in order of opponent quality, best first, worst last: Our first Ivy game is versus #1 Ivy pick Yale, our second game is against #2 pick Harvard ... we end with #8 Columbia. Not until the season finale do we play a team rated lower than us. It may be a measure of confidence in the new regime of coach and athletic director that Cornell's 7th place pick is not a tie for 7th, but 7th outright. Somewhere between #rolltide and #redtide.

Pick To  Order
Finish   CU Plays  Opponent
1        1         Yale 9/28 Homecoming
2        2         Harvard 10/11
3        5         Penn
4T       4         Princeton 11/2  
4T       6         Dartmouth
6        3         Brown
7        --        Cornell
8        7         @ Columbia 11/23

Also the only ranked FCS team on our schedule, #16 Albany, is the third game.

And for the subset of Cornell fans who like both football and hockey, Cornell-Columbia football and Cornell-Marist, no, sorry, Cornell-Quinnipiac hockey (I forgot already) are a week apart in NYC.

I know the Ivy League rearranged the football schedule in the last decade to put "traditional rivalries" as the final game -- translation: Cornell, Columbia, Brown were unlikely to be in the hunt the last week, so why pair them against the commonly top teams Harvard Yale Princeton often Penn in the finale. It's not like, say, Columbia and Brown play a final football game then a week later there's a key squash Lions-Bears raquets match thanksgiving weekend and thousands are displeased.

The quirk that screws over Cornell is we play hockey at MSG within a week of the at-Columbia every even year. Many football fanatics don't care that much about ice hockey, and hockey fanatics don't care about football that much. For those of us who like many Cornell sports, it's a killer when the games are back to back weeks in NYC every second year. It's hard to get the rest of your non-Cornell family to think about back-to-back events.

I'm still amazed that during the Archer era Cornell never finished dead last, untied, in 8th place.

[All in unison]: It's the system.

We now have seven quarterbacks this year, three of which are frosh.

Yes. They needed more QB's in this class and they have more.

Seven seems like a lot.

Clear eyes, full hearts.

Well, we know Devin can do the work academically.

Going to be one heck of a trick play. It will involve a rollout and more than one pass.

And seven very quick and brutal tackles.

Cornell football season is almost here and any updates on fall practice?  Is the team planning any pre-season scrimmages?   Meanwhile our first game is September 21st against Colgate who will have a whopping three games under their belt prior to playing the Big Red.

Projected to finish in the top-8 of the Ivy League!
