"Connecticut Brings NOTHING To The Table In Football"

[whaler11]

Not counting bowl games, only 29 P5 schools last season had more than 4 wins against P5 competition. 31 did not. This is only a 1 year assessment so teams with 4 wins counted in the 3.5 range. Therefore, yes, the numbers prove I am right.

You counted bowl wins in UConn's total.

I don't feel like doing the math but you are almost certainly wrong.

You should stay away from math if you think eliminating 4 win teams shows that they don't average 3.5. Spoiler: 4>3.5.

Over 7 years a team that wins 4 games a year wins 3-4 more games than a team that wins 3.5. Nevermind counting bowl wins for one set and not the other.

No need to get hung up on fairness. UCONN is better overall than many P5's. The problem is, they are in the club and we are knocking at the door. UCONN needs to win across the board and I am confident that good things will happen!

Show me where you get credit for half a win. Usually teams that average 3.5 wins have 3 wins one year and 4 the next (for consistency sake). You don't get to 3.5 by winning less than 3 games every year.

Spoiler 3.5>3.

2007 - wins over Duke (ACC), Pittsburgh (ACC), Louisville, (ACC), Rutgers (Big Ten) and Syracuse (ACC)
2008 - wins over Virginia (ACC), Baylor (Big XII), Lousiville (ACC) and Syracuse (ACC)
2009 - wins over Baylor (Big XII), Louisville (ACC), Notre Dame, Syracuse (ACC) and South Carolina (SEC)
2010 - wins over Vanderbilt (SEC), West Virginia (Big XII), Syracuse (ACC) and Pittsburgh (ACC)
2011 - wins over Syracuse (ACC) and Rutgers (Big Ten)
2012 - wins over Maryland (Big Ten), Pittsburgh (ACC) and Louisville (ACC)
2013 - win over Rutgers (Big Ten)

That's 24 wins over teams from the P5 conferences since 2007. I don't know what else a program can do over that time frame, cause I guarantee you that half of the so-called P5 teams do not have that many wins.

We just had Michigan on the ropes! But good thing we lost, kinda. PP was driving that boat.

Spoiler 3.5>3.

Only 17 had fewer than 4 last year by your numbers. Without counting South Carolina, UConn had 23 in 7 years - Thats 3.28 a year.

Your guarantee was that less than half of P5 schools had that many. If more than 2/3rds of the schools had 4 last year how could you guarantee that half averaged less than 3.25 the prior 7.

It's a pretty good result, but your guarantee flies in the face of simple arithmatic. Most of the schools play 9-10 P5 games. How could the median result be averaging less than winning 3.25 games a year?
