Re: Offseason Random Stuff - 2023
One BSC coach was talking about the number of wins they had over the last three years, so pulled down these totals not including SSU and 2020 fake season. Sorry for the formatting as I don't know how to paste a table.
CP: 8 wins, 26 losses, 34 total games, 23.53 win%
EWU: 20 wins, 16 losses, 36 total games, 55.56 win%
ISU: 5 wins, 28 losses, 33 total games, 15.15 win%
MSU: 35 wins, 9 losses, 44 total games, 79.55 win%
NAU: 13 wins, 21 losses, 34 total games, 38.24 win%
SAC: 30 wins, 8 losses, 38 total games, 78.95 win%
UCD: 19 wins, 16 losses, 35 total games, 54.29 win%
UI: 16 wins, 19 losses, 35 total games, 45.71 win%
um: 28 wins, 11 losses, 39 total games, 71.79 win%
UNC: 8 wins, 26 losses, 34 total games, 23.53 win%
WSU: 27 wins, 12 losses, 39 total games, 69.23 win%
Most wins = MSU @ 35
Least losses = SAC @ 8
Total games = MSU @ 44
Win % = MSU @ 79.55%

I'd be interested in seeing the results for just conference games.

I saw an ad today for Rib and Chop in Butte with Tommy Mellott. Is anyone smart enough to post a link of it? I couldn’t hear it but it made me laugh.

Some interesting tidbits (IMO):
This is Furman's highest ranking since early in the 2006 season (the last time they were higher was late 2005).
This is Holy Cross' highest ranking ever in the AGS Poll.
There's 6 Big Sky teams in the top 16 - hard to see that maintaining.
