...President of the United States to his already formidable resume. He won every state in the South, most states in the Northeast, all but a few states in the Midwest and virtually every Western state including California.

All Penn (8-0 overall, 5-0 Ivy) has to do to earn at least a share of the league crown is to win one of its final two contests...
