A little Monday bonus for you today with your Ivy League player rankings, using the same formula that The Buzz has used all season. But first your top 10. The number in parentheses at the end is that player's ranking when we last gave you the rankings before Penn's first Ivy weekend.

1. Zoller, Penn 171.5 (1)

2. Cusworth, Harvard 146.5 (2)
3. Jaaber, Penn 141.0 (3)

4. Grandieri, Penn 108.5 (4)

5. Naeve, Cornell 106.8 (6)
6. McAndrew, Brown 104.0 (7)
7. Baumann, Columbia 102.6 (5)
8. Hughes, Yale 82.1 (12)
9. Nwachukwu, Columbia 81.9 (8)
10. Wittman, Cornell 80.9 (11)
Dropping out of the top 10: Dale (Cornell) and Danley (Penn)

You might notice the Quakers' dominance at the top of the list with Mark Zoller, Ibrahim Jaaber and Brian Grandieri all in the top three. While it's hard to see that as a negative, something that's worried Penn fans all season has been an over-reliance on a few players. But are the Quakers leaning too hard on their big three, who provide 79.4 percent of the contributions based on the formula?

Here are the percentages of the contributions for the top three on each team. The Quakers are high on the list, but not the highest.

Brown (McAndrew, Huffman, Becker) 83.2
Penn (Zoller, Jaaber, Grandieri) 79.4

Dartmouth (Pattman, Mosley, Barnett) 74.5
Harvard (Cusworth, Pusar, Harris) 66.1
Cornell (Naeve, Wittman, Dale) 60.7
Columbia (Baumann, Nwachukwu, Loscalzo) 56.8
Princeton (Koncz, Owings, Schroeder) 55.0
Yale (Hughes, Abromaitis, Flato) 48.1
