COLUMBIA (2-3, 1-1 IVY) AT DARTMOUTH (0-5, 0-2 IVY)

Time to jump off the Columbia bandwagon. My sleeper pick for Ivy League champion is just plain sleeping. The Lions’ long road back from their winless Ivy slate in ’07 brought them to the neighborhood of contending. But well-armed Penn was on the neighborhood watch and banished Columbia, 27-13.

Luckily for the Lions this week, they get Dartmouth.

Prediction: Columbia 38, Dartmouth 10.

YALE (3-2, 1-1 IVY) AT PENN (3-2, 2-0 IVY)

Nothing is set in stone, but it looks like the Ivy title will come down to Harvard and Penn. The Quakers have finally made me a believer.

Al Bagnoli’s squad has not played a stinker this season (the losses were both close, to No. 2 Villanova and a Lafayette team that left its tire tracks all over Harvard), and that shouldn’t change against milquetoast Yale.

Prediction: Penn 24, Yale 17

PRINCETON (1-4, 0-2 IVY) AT HARVARD (3-2, 2-0 IVY)

After that steamrolling by Lafayette, Crimson coach Tim Murphy reiterated that Harvard, despite its unbeaten Ivy start, hasn’t become dominant and needs all components to function smoothly.

Junior quarterback Collier Winters and his receivers must reestablish a rhythm; Gordon, Scales and the offensive line must resume netting positive yardage; the defense must remain resolute for four quarters. Princeton will provide the Saturday at the tune-up shop the Crimson needs.

Prediction: Harvard 27, Princeton 13

Last Week: 4-2

Record to Date: 20-12
