2 Bids for the Ivy League?

This was talked about briefly last year when Cornell had their stellar run and they were behind Harvard for a few games, but this year it might be a reality.  The Ivy League has never received two bids to the big dance and this might be the year where it finally happens.  The field has expanded for three more bids, the bubble is about as weak, if not even weaker than last year, and both teams have an excellent record.  Coming into Saturday's action, ESPN's daily RPI had Ivy League and undefeated leader in conference play Princeton with the 50th best RPI in the nation and Harvard, who's only Ivy League loss is to Princeton at number 52.  Both teams had only 4 losses coming into the day and both have a few marquee wins.  Princeton beat Bucknell on a neutral sight, took down Rutgers, who recently knocked off #10 Villanova, and defeated Harvard at home.  Harvard has a huge road win at Boston College, a home win against Colorado, and all four of their losses have come to teams ranked in the top 56 in terms of RPI.  The Ivy League automatic win goes to the conference record winner.  The best scenario that can happen is both teams winning out and Harvard beating Princeton to force a third and decisive match to see which team would go to the NCAA tournament, since the Ivy League has a one game playoff to decide ties.  This would jack up both team strength of schedule, receive national exposure, and the committee would be forced watch both games between the two schools.  In a year where we feel about as murky about the NCAA tournament field as we did when all the teams were 0-0, it’s nice to know the Ivy League has produced two great teams from a conference with a rich winning tradition.  If the committee makes the decision to give two bids the Ivy League, with a field of no great team, a magical run like Cornell's last year is a possibility.
