I figured these in another thread, but think they belong under a much better related title. For all those that have been vocal about Brands "not getting it done", Here is the tale of the tape:
Just so you understand NO TEAM has finished top 5 every season since 2008, EXCEPT Iowa. Even PSU took 6th in 2015.
2008: 1st-117.5 won by 38.5
2009: 1st-96.5 won by 4.5
2010: 1st-134.5 won by 44.5
2011: 3rd-86.5 lost by 21 to PSU and 7 to Cornell. Finished 16.5 ahead of 4th place OKState tOSU(29th-20.5)
2012: 3rd-107.5 lost by 35.5 to PSU and 10 to Minnesota. Finished 5 ahead of #4 Cornell(3 champs). tOSU(5th-68.5) OkState(6th-66)
2013: 4th-73 lost by 50.5 to PSU, 46.5 to OkState and 37.5 to Minn. Beat #5 Cornell by 8. tOSU(6th-59.5)
2014: 4th-78.5 lost by 31 to PSU, 25.5 to Minn and 18 to OkState. Beat #5 Edinboro by 16.5. tOSU(6th-57)
2015: 2nd-84 lost by 18 to tOSU. Beat #3 Edinboro by 8.5. OkState (7th-65) PSU (6th-67.5)
2016: 5th-81 lost by 42 to PSU, 16.5 to OkState, 5 to tOSU and 1 to VTech. Beat #6 Mizz by 6.5.
2017: 4th-97 lost by 49.5 to PSU, 13 to tOSU and 6 to OkState. Beat #5 Mizz by 10.5.
2018: 3rd-97 lost by 44.5 to PSU and 37.5 to tOSU. Beat #4 Michigan by 17. OkState (t-13 37.5)
2019: 4th-73 lost by 61.5 to PSU, 20.5 to tOSU and 8 to OkState. Beat #5 Michigan by 13.5
So, even IF you start in 2011, AFTER their 3 Titles, they still average a higher placement and more points than every team but PSU. Even if you go strictly by who places higher, they are 4-5 against tOSU and OkState, but are again ahead of every other team by a very large margin.
With that said, PSU is blowing them away, but they are blowing EVERYONE away.
Team placement and average points scored from 2011-2019:
PSU: 14/9= 1.556 place and 121.833
Iowa: 32/9= 3.556 place and 86.389
OkState: 43/9= 4.778 place and 84.833
tOSU: 56/9=6.222 place and 81.278
After them, no one is close.
