...Tigers are slim favorites on most charts, and their previous schedule, as well as its over-dependence on the pass, may be a reason for it. Princeton is unbeaten, but it played Cornell when the Big Red was extremely disorganized, and has yet to face either Dartmouth or Yale. Harvard happened to run into Cornell when the Crimson was missing its top linebacker and played an appalling offensive game. And the Dartmouth game is already behind...
