  <body>The University of Pennsylvania clinched the Ivy League title outright on Saturday with a 34-0 romp of the Big Red in Ithaca, N.Y. Cornell didn&#8217;t exactly make it difficult for the Quakers to secure their [seventh outright championship in the Al Bagnoli era,](http://www.pennathletics.com/ViewArticle.dbml?&amp;DB_OEM_ID=1700&amp;ATCLID=204838099) as the Big Red put up a meager 80 offensive yards to Penn&#8217;s 418. 
&lt;br&gt;
Over in New Haven, Conn., Harvard prevailed in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game_(Harvard-Yale)"&gt;The Game,&lt;/a&gt; which still gets capital letters despite its [irrelevance this year.](http://ivyleaguesports.com/sports/standings.asp?intSID=3) Yale was holding on to a thin 10-7 lead with just 2:25 remaining in the game when head coach Tom Williams channeled Bill Belichick and [went for it on fourth down.](http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Belichick-s-fourth-down-call-dooms-Pats-sends-I?urn=nfl,202751) The only difference was that the Bulldogs were 20 yards farther from the first down than the Patriots were against the Colts. Yale botched a fake punt attempt and Harvard scored the winning touchdown three plays later.

The Lions triumphed over former-champion, now-irrelevant Brown in New York on Saturday, 28-14. It was only the second time in the last 13 years that the Bears had lost to the Lions. Columbia freshman QB Sean Brackett, in for injured phenom M.A. Olawale, made the Brown defense look silly all day, throwing for 151 yards on 10 completions and adding 171 yards on the ground. &#8220;He just ran all over the place,&#8221; Bears head coach Phil Estes [told The Brown Daily Herald.](http://www.browndailyherald.com/columbia-beats-odds-brown-in-final-game-of-season-1.2095599) Great analysis.
