interesting stats

Rivals ran a story about a week ago with all the traits about the NCs. To no surprise NU is not one of the teams that fit the mold, take a look it is kind of interesting, lets see how accurate.

I like the last line myself: "Of course, more teams than those that fit the national championship profile can aspire to win it all in 2008. It's not out of the question for a team that had a losing record in '07 to bounce back and win a national title, though that would indeed be a high mountain to climb." :corndance :corndance :corndance :corndance :corndance

from the article--

Still fitting the profile: ACC --Wake Forest (seven starters back from 27th ranked unit); Big East – Rutgers (eight starters back from 17th ranked unit), Big 12 – Kansas (nine starters back from 12th ranked unit), Pac-10: USC (seven starters back from second ranked unit), SEC – Alabama (six starters back from 31st ranked unit), Georgia (nine starters back from 14th ranked unit).
So according to these criteria, the Demon Deacons, Scarlet Knights, Jayhawks, Trojans, Crimson Tide and Bulldogs are the teams to watch next season.

Only one B12 team??

Maybe Kansas isn't a one year wonder??

If that article isn't dog-poo...I don't know what is.

The only teams in his final list that have a chance at winning the MNC are USC/Georgia.

Kansas? Wake Forest??? Sorry dude, look at Kansas' schedule from 2007.

I hate Missouri...but where are they in the final rankings? They have a much better chance than KU. Where's Oklahoma? Oops, no mention of them. Could KU beat Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship? I sincerely doubt it.

If anything...this only shows that many of these writers have no idea what they are writing about. They're simply desk-jockeys that over-analyze everything, find some ridiculous "correlation" and write about it.

Congratulations...one of your long-shot "correlations" actually didn't conflict with the data from 2007.

And no, I'm not writing this because Nebraska wasn't included in the conversation...his analysis just conveniently included USC and Georgia. Splendid journalism...
