Should Penn win, the contingencies all become operative: a Dartmouth win over Brown would produce a three-way tie for first with Week 10 to serve as the tiebreaker, in which Penn would host Cornell, Dartmouth would host Princeton and Harvard would travel to a certain Connecticut town for a certain game...
