90-100% chance
(95) Yale over (252) Lehigh by 28
80-90%
(152) Monmouth over (212) Gardner-Webb by 14
(170) Vanderbilt over (228) UConn by 14
60-70%
(182) Cornell over (242) Bucknell by 10
(216) Georgetown over (224) Colgate by 3.5
(195) Lafayette over (169) Fordham by 3.5 (a surprise with this one)
50-60%
(99) Harvard over (108) HOLY CROSS by 3.5
____________
Duquesne over Merrimack (No line in Bassett)

I need some help here.
The facts (as I see them):
Harvard handily beats Georgetown and Brown - the team projected to finish sixth in the Ivy league.
Yale loses to Holy Cross, and then squeaks by the team projected to finish eighth (last) in the Ivy League.
Holy Cross beats an (admittedly weak) FBS team on the road.
Holy Cross stubs its toe against Merrimack, a team that is only a break shy of sitting at 4-0.
Holy Cross beats Yale, the team projected to finish second in the Ivy League - again on the road.
Holy Cross goes on the road yet again, and very handily beats the #19/20 FCS team.
Basset's conclusion:
Yale is ranked/rated #95
Harvard is ranked/rated #99
Holy Cross is ranked/rated #108.

Almost totally off topic except it’s been driving me nuts and you brought up Biden but one of the constant Crossports ads is for mortgage assistance company and touts that it is somehow related to Biden.
I am NOT looking to go down the political rabbit hole as I would otherwise just ignore the ad (I don’t happen to need whatever it is they are selling) but the part that drives me nuts is the dancing caricature does NOT look like Biden, it looks like Joe Lieberman.

You might want to delete the last question..... Went back and forth on that. Let's leave it to the subject at hand. Thank you. |

I think that firmly establishes that Holy Cross is back in the "entertainment business" as the College's football ranking is well ahead of its academic rankings. So, does this make us a "football school" once again? I obviously joke as a loss to Harvard will cause us to quickly lose this lofty ranking.  |

Executive Assistant on Mahogany Row: "Great news Mr. President, we're number 23 in the nation!"
"Ahead of Wellesley, Middlebury, Bates?"
"No, Gardner Webb."
