The team’s stats should be even gaudier in a fortnight, too. Columbia comes to town this weekend, and it brings with it the 120th best scoring offense in FCS (there are 121 teams). Then Harvard travels to Penn, which currently ranks 97th in scoring offense.

Those two teams are a combined 1-13, with the only win coming when Penn beat Columbia in the Ivy equivalent of that game in your fantasy league between two teams that haven’t checked their lineups since the draft.

Barring the Apocalypse, Harvard will enter The Game 9-0, and the Crimson has not lost that one since Justin Bieber was just some guy making YouTube videos (coincidence?). In fact, Yale has only won once since the Clinton administration. Maybe it’ll have to wait for a successful Hillary 2016 campaign to win again.

It all lines up. I never expected to be seriously considering the odds of a perfect Harvard football season, but with the way the offensive line has mauled opponents and the defense has suffocated them, it would be inappropriate to not consider the chance.

Saturday night, Dartmouth coach Buddy Teevens reminded his players that they were still a good squad and that they were still in the title hunt. Murphy has not needed to break out that speech this year. Week in and week out, the Crimson has proven it is the class of the Ivy League.

And they’re not just good. This Harvard team is great.

There, I said it.
