Writer’s Note: I write for Addicted To Quack, and this is an article that I wrote for the site. As such, it is Oregon-centric; however, especially in the first table, there’s some interesting numbers for all of us in the B1G. It’s stupid and meaningless, so take it as such. – Badwater
I read, as did many of you, about Oregon winning 8 conference titles in their first year in the B1G. I first wondered how the rest of the teams ranked in the sports where the Ducks won the conference. Then I wondered, “How did the conference do in the sports that Oregon competes in?”
I had to eliminate lacrosse and A&T for lack of teams. Golf, tennis, and all the track events don’t compare as cleanly as other sports, so I pared the conference comparisons down to football, men’s and women’s basketball, soccer, baseball, softball, and volleyball.
We’ll do this in reverse order of my thinking process. First, I have listed how each school placed in these seven sports, and then I averaged out the rankings to arrive at an overall placement in these sports.
