The Tigers managed to keep their dream of the championship alive as they beat out the Yale Bulldogs 35–20 last Saturday. With this win, their record advances to 8–1 (5–1 Ivy League), tying them with Dartmouth for the number one seat in the conference. Both teams will seek to secure their spot at the top as they move into their final games for the season. Both Princeton and Dartmouth are heavily favored in their final matchups, facing off against Penn and Brown, respectively. Penn and Brown sit at the bottom of the league table, with identical records of 2–7 overall and 1–5 Ivy League. If either Princeton or Dartmouth loses their final games, they lose the championship. If both win, they will share the title.
