There are four possibilities left in the Ivy League title race:

1) Harvard will win the title outright only if-it fares better than Penn (i.e., if Harvard wins, Pennties; Harvard wins, Penn loses; Harvard ties, Penn loses).

2) Penn will win the title outright if it has a better outcome than Harvard Saturday.

3) Penn and Harvard will tie for the crown if both teams have the same result in Saturday's games.

4) Penn, Harvard and Princeton will tie if Penn and Harvard lose and Princeton beats Cornell.
