Penn (4-0 Ivy): The Quakers must lose all their remaining Ivy games; at Princeton (October 29), Harvard (November 12) and at Cornell (November 19).

Yale (1-1-1 Ivy): The Elis must lose to Harvard and Dartmouth and beat Cornell and Princeton; Dartmouth (October 29), at Cornell (November 5), Princeton (November 12) and at Harvard (November 19).

Dartmouth (1-2 Ivy): The Big Green must defeat Yale and Princeton and lose to either Columbia or Brown; at Yale (October 29), Columbia (November 5), at Brown (November 12) and at Princeton (November 19).

Brown (0-3-1 Ivy): The Bruins must lose to Harvard and defeat Dartmouth; at Harvard (October 29), Dartmouth (November 12) and at Columbia (November 19).
