Picks With Pink Grading SystemUp 11% last 7 daysWhy it likes it
- 7/10 exact-line margin proxies cleared Princeton +10.5: Princeton 5/5, Harvard 2/5; no pushes.
- Projection derivation: 70% empirical proxy rate, conservatively shrunk 5 points toward 50% to 65%; no calibrated model claim.
- SRS is effectively even: Harvard -19.8, Princeton -19.9, offering no rating support for a 10.5-point gap.
- The 10-game proxy uses each team's five current-season margins, not opponent-adjusted matchup outcomes; sample and regime mismatch are material.

- Season EPA favors Princeton offense 0.1317/play versus Harvard 0.1095; Harvard's defensive edge is only 0.0156 EPA/play allowed.
- SRS is effectively even (-19.9 Princeton, -19.8 Harvard); recent scoring margins are +12.8 and +13.2.
- Expected depth-chart starters are not confirmed; Ivy/FCS has no official pregame availability feed, leaving late-scratch risk unresolved.
