^ a: In January 1998, Penn agreed to forfeit its Ivy League wins from 1997 after star defensive tackle Mitch Marrow was declared ineligible as a part-time student. [13] Cornell's [1] and Penn's [14] record books regard their 1997 meeting, a 33–20 Penn victory on the field, as a Cornell win, as do the 1997 win–loss records and season standings in the Ivy League record book.
