Ten-Year Standings Revisited
Publication Date: February 28, 2006
Been Doing This a While
Way back in 2001, I took a look at the cumulative standings for 1991-2000. Since we passed a round number last year, I thought I'd revisit that question and see what had changed. I'll just hit these conference-by-conference, so I'll be sure not to just skip over anyone.
America East Conference Team Years W L WP Delaware 1997-2001 101 25 0.802 Maine 1997-2005 137 85 0.617 Northeastern 1997-2005 124 92 0.574 Towson 1997-2001 74 59 0.556 Vermont 1997-2005 121 97 0.555 Stony Brook 2002-2005 47 41 0.534 Albany 2002-2005 42 46 0.477 Hofstra 1997-2001 54 78 0.409 Drexel 1997-2001 50 81 0.382 Binghamton 2002-2005 31 51 0.378 New Hampshire 1997-1997 7 17 0.292 Maryland-Baltimore County 2004-2005 12 30 0.286 Hartford 1997-2005 60 158 0.275
There are several of these teams that serve as a reminder of the tiering that occurs within the ranks of the conferences. Delaware dominated the AmEast to the point where they began to be thought of as a regional power; they never got a #1 seed out of it, but they got some reasonably favorable treatment in the late '90's. They're two games over .500 so far in the CAA.
Atlantic Coast Conference Team Years W L WP Florida State 1996-2005 184 60 0.754 Georgia Tech 1996-2005 160 82 0.661 Miami, Florida 2005-2005 19 10 0.655 Clemson 1996-2005 157 86 0.646 North Carolina 1996-2005 125 117 0.517 North Carolina State 1996-2005 120 121 0.498 Wake Forest 1996-2005 117 123 0.487 Virginia 1996-2005 104 136 0.433 Virginia Tech 2005-2005 7 19 0.269 Duke 1996-2005 64 175 0.268 Maryland 1996-2005 57 185 0.236
There's not a whole lot of change between these and the 91-00 standings. UNC has moved up 21 games relative to .500 in the last five years, which isn't bad in a conference this strong. NCSU, on the other hand, has moved down 24 games. I suspect that there will be a good bit of churning before the 01-10 standings, though; the addition of Miami and a resurgence at Clemson means that someone has to lose some games.
Atlantic Sun Conference Team Years W L WP Central Florida 1996-2005 171 86 0.665 Florida Atlantic 1996-2005 167 93 0.642 Southeastern Louisiana 1996-1997 22 14 0.611 Stetson 1996-2005 155 104 0.598 Gardner-Webb 2003-2005 52 41 0.559 Jacksonville 1999-2005 113 94 0.546 Florida International 1996-1998 29 25 0.537 Troy 1998-2005 119 106 0.529 Georgia State 1996-2005 123 138 0.471 College of Charleston 1996-1998 24 30 0.444 Jacksonville State 1996-2003 87 113 0.435 Belmont 2002-2005 53 69 0.434 Campbell 1996-2005 111 150 0.425 Mercer 1996-2005 102 153 0.400 Centenary 1996-1999 32 52 0.381 Samford 1996-2003 66 132 0.333 Lipscomb 2004-2005 17 43 0.283
Well, that was a fun party while it lasted. Right now, it looks like the next five years view for the ASun is going to be a bit of a tossup, with two of the three traditional powers leaving the party while Troy has started paying attention to baseball and two Division II powers are roaring in (between them, North Florida and Kennesaw State already have wins over Washington State, Boston College, Georgia Southern, LSU, South Florida, and a sweep over Central Florida). Compounding that is the fact the new guys won't be postseason-eligible until 2010 and don't have anything to play for *but* the regular season, and it's going to be an interesting ride. This is somewhat similar to the chaotic state five years ago, when newcomer Jacksonville and recently-departed Florida International had been the top teams in that window.
Atlantic Ten Conference Team Years W L WP Virginia Tech 1996-2000 73 25 0.745 Richmond 2002-2005 70 25 0.737 George Washington 1996-2005 136 77 0.638 Massachusetts 1997-2005 129 86 0.600 St. Bonaventure 1996-2005 109 102 0.517 Rhode Island 1996-2005 112 107 0.511 Xavier 1996-2005 108 104 0.509 Duquesne 1996-2005 106 110 0.491 Dayton 1996-2005 103 114 0.475 Temple 1996-2005 103 115 0.472 Fordham 1996-2005 101 116 0.465 St. Joseph's 1996-2005 73 145 0.335 LaSalle 1996-2005 59 156 0.274
Richmond was a good pick-up here, and they're in essentially the same boat here they were in in the CAA, so it didn't hurt them any. Virginia Tech has stepped off the deep end; we'll see if they float in a few years. The addition of more southern teams seems to have really hurt UMass, who has dropped by 36 games relative to .500 since 2000. It's been almost completely ignored nationally, since they haven't actually made it to the top of what is, after all, only a lower mid-level conference, but Rhode Island's move from 57-139 from 1991-2000 to 112-107 from 1996-2005 is a fairly impressive success story.
Big East Conference Team Years W L WP Notre Dame 1996-2005 169 63 0.728 Rutgers 1996-2005 159 81 0.662 Providence 1996-1999 57 41 0.582 St. John's 1996-2005 140 102 0.579 Virginia Tech 2001-2004 58 44 0.569 West Virginia 1996-2005 126 118 0.516 Connecticut 1996-2005 116 130 0.472 Seton Hall 1996-2005 115 130 0.469 Boston College 1996-2005 111 128 0.464 Pittsburgh 1996-2005 109 135 0.447 Villanova 1996-2005 100 140 0.417 Georgetown 1996-2005 50 200 0.200
Hmmm, let's see. Notre Dame still winning most of their games? Check. Georgetown still really bad? Check. Villanova's swooned a bit and BC had a nice year or two, but this is probably the most static of the leagues in terms of changes in the last five years. So, of course, they replaced half the conference.
Big South Conference Team Years W L WP Birmingham-Southern 2004-2005 39 9 0.812 North Carolina-Greensboro 1996-1997 30 9 0.769 Coastal Carolina 1996-2005 129 72 0.642 Winthrop 1996-2005 130 73 0.640 Elon 1999-2003 48 34 0.585 Liberty 1996-2005 108 94 0.535 Charleston Southern 1996-2005 100 102 0.495 Radford 1996-2005 83 119 0.411 North Carolina-Asheville 1996-2005 78 126 0.382 Virginia Military 2004-2005 15 33 0.312 High Point 1999-2005 35 90 0.280 Maryland-Baltimore County 1996-1998 12 46 0.207
This was a two-horse race (and that's about as close as you can get). Now it's a three-horse race.
Big Ten Conference Team Years W L WP Minnesota 1996-2005 189 95 0.665 Ohio State 1996-2005 185 102 0.645 Illinois 1996-2005 155 130 0.544 Penn State 1996-2005 149 136 0.523 Michigan 1996-2005 144 136 0.514 Purdue 1996-2005 140 145 0.491 Indiana 1996-2005 119 164 0.420 Northwestern 1996-2005 120 170 0.414 Iowa 1996-2005 110 170 0.393 Michigan State 1996-2005 107 170 0.386
Minnesota hasn't improved as much as Ohio State has slipped, but this is another fairly static grouping over all compared to five years ago. Michigan hasn't changed places, but they're up about 20 games relative to .500. They've got the resources, so they may be the next candidate to watch in looking for a regional power (or a de facto IAA power, if Jim Delaney gets his wish).
Big Twelve Conference Team Years W L WP Baylor 1997-2005 156 91 0.632 Texas 1997-2005 151 100 0.602 Texas Tech 1997-2005 146 102 0.589 Nebraska 1997-2005 140 104 0.574 Texas A&M 1997-2005 144 112 0.562 Oklahoma State 1997-2005 138 109 0.559 Oklahoma 1997-2005 138 116 0.543 Missouri 1997-2005 122 124 0.496 Kansas State 1997-2005 75 175 0.300 Kansas 1997-2005 72 180 0.286 Iowa State 1997-2001 36 105 0.255
Remember when Texas was bad? They've gone from 3 games over .500 for the first four years of the conference to second place on this list. I don't think they'll catch Baylor this year (and might even lose a little ground), but the Bears have to be hearing hoofprints. On other fronts, a great point that weather never actually evens out is that Texas A&M, for example, has managed to play an average of about a game-and-a-half more in conference per year than Nebraska has.
Big West Conference Team Years W L WP Cal State Fullerton 1996-2005 183 63 0.744 Long Beach State 1996-2005 169 77 0.687 Nevada-Las Vegas 1996-1996 14 7 0.667 Nevada 1996-2000 87 51 0.630 UC Riverside 2002-2005 46 41 0.529 UC Irvine 2002-2005 42 45 0.483 UC Santa Barbara 1996-2005 118 127 0.482 Cal Poly 1997-2005 105 118 0.471 Cal State Northridge 2001-2005 43 62 0.410 Pacific 1996-2005 82 163 0.335 San Jose State 1996-1996 7 14 0.333 Cal State Sacramento 1997-2002 54 112 0.325 New Mexico State 1996-2000 35 105 0.250
For a top 5 league, which has been as high as second some years, that's a whole bunch of turnover. Only 4 teams showed up for the whole 10 years. It's Fullerton's show, with Long Beach playing a strong second fiddle.
Colonial Athletic Association Team Years W L WP Virginia Commonwealth 1996-2005 137 70 0.662 East Carolina 1996-2001 77 48 0.616 North Carolina-Wilmington 1996-2005 121 89 0.576 Richmond 1996-2001 66 56 0.541 George Mason 1996-2005 107 101 0.514 Delaware 2002-2005 44 42 0.512 James Madison 1996-2005 102 108 0.486 Old Dominion 1996-2005 92 117 0.440 Towson 2002-2005 39 50 0.438 William and Mary 1996-2005 87 117 0.426 Hofstra 2002-2005 20 69 0.225 Drexel 2002-2003 8 33 0.195
Here's a great example of the limits of observation, even when considering a pool of data: I would have sworn that East Carolina owned this league. It turns out that they were behind VCU for both the 91-00 period and for the 96-05 period.
Conference USA Team Years W L WP Tulane 1996-2005 201 76 0.726 Houston 1997-2005 176 75 0.701 Texas Christian 2002-2005 80 40 0.667 East Carolina 2002-2005 76 43 0.639 Southern Mississippi 1996-2005 168 107 0.611 South Florida 1996-2005 149 125 0.544 Louisville 1996-2005 131 141 0.482 North Carolina-Charlotte 1996-2005 124 149 0.454 Alabama-Birmingham 1996-2005 111 164 0.404 Memphis 1996-2005 107 164 0.395 Cincinnati 1996-2005 79 190 0.294 St. Louis 1996-2005 71 199 0.263
This one was debatable as recently as two years ago, but Tulane has pulled well ahead of Houston now as the league's premier program. Oh, wait, there's someone else -- Rice will shift all of this quite thoroughly on its head. TCU's stay in the league has to be considered a success; we'll see how they do in a smaller pond.
Horizon League Team Years W L WP Wisconsin-Milwaukee 1996-2005 128 78 0.621 Illinois-Chicago 1996-2005 111 92 0.547 Youngstown State 2002-2005 40 35 0.533 Butler 1996-2005 109 96 0.532 Northern Illinois 1996-1997 24 22 0.522 Wright State 1996-2005 103 108 0.488 Detroit Mercy 1996-2004 73 109 0.401 Cleveland State 1996-2005 83 131 0.388
This lineup has been much more stable, for better and worse, than it was in the '90's. The glory days (for sufficiently small values of "glory") of Notre Dame are gone, and the hyphens basically rule the roost.
Ivy League Team Years W L WP Harvard 1996-2005 136 62 0.687 Princeton 1996-2005 128 72 0.640 Dartmouth 1996-2005 106 94 0.530 Brown 1996-2005 94 104 0.475 Pennsylvania 1996-2005 90 110 0.450 Cornell 1996-2005 85 115 0.425 Yale 1996-2005 85 115 0.425 Columbia 1996-2005 73 127 0.365
Harvard has had a nice five-year run to pass Princeton, while Yale and Brown have lagged.
Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Team Years W L WP LeMoyne 1996-2005 167 70 0.705 Marist 1998-2005 145 69 0.678 Siena 1996-2005 151 91 0.624 Rider 1998-2005 121 90 0.573 Iona 1996-2005 125 115 0.521 Niagara 1996-2005 125 116 0.519 Manhattan 1996-2005 117 120 0.494 Fairfield 1996-2005 120 127 0.486 St. Peter's 1996-2005 54 189 0.222 Canisius 1996-2005 54 194 0.218
One of the things about a league like the MAAC, which is one of the bottom five in the country, is that nobody really notices how you do, other than maybe by name recognition if you're the annual tournament cannon fodder. LeMoyne is relatively good; Canisius is relatively and absolutely bad; no one really cares that much about either. In their context, though, there's a huge difference, and that is worth something, because that context is largely determined well outside the control of anyone related to the baseball program.
Mid-American Conference Team Years W L WP Ball State 1996-2005 189 85 0.690 Kent State 1996-2005 172 93 0.649 Central Michigan 1996-2005 161 109 0.596 Ohio 1996-2005 157 117 0.573 Miami, Ohio 1996-2005 157 122 0.563 Bowling Green State 1996-2005 149 119 0.556 Eastern Michigan 1996-2005 138 137 0.502 Western Michigan 1996-2005 125 154 0.448 Akron 1996-2005 115 158 0.421 Toledo 1996-2005 112 166 0.403 Northern Illinois 1998-2005 76 139 0.353 Marshall 1998-2005 67 149 0.310 Buffalo 2001-2005 25 93 0.212
Ball State has made a nice move to the top here, aided by a couple of top draft choices.
Mid-Continent Conference Team Years W L WP Oral Roberts 1998-2005 160 18 0.899 Eastern Illinois 1996-1996 15 3 0.833 Troy State 1996-1997 24 8 0.750 Southern Utah 2000-2005 80 59 0.576 C. W. Post 1996-1998 27 20 0.574 Centenary 2004-2005 22 23 0.489 Western Illinois 1996-2005 105 112 0.484 Pace 1996-1998 21 23 0.477 Northeastern Illinois 1996-1998 33 37 0.471 Valparaiso 1996-2005 101 114 0.470 Youngstown State 1996-2001 56 65 0.463 Oakland 1999-2005 59 77 0.434 New York Tech 1996-1998 22 30 0.423 Central Connecticut State 1996-1998 20 29 0.408 Chicago State 1996-2005 62 156 0.284 IUPUI 1999-2001 19 52 0.268
.899? 18 losses in 8 years? I know that ORU is a good fit in the Mid-Con in every other sport, and I know there are complications with having one team in a different conference, but won't someone think of the children?
Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Team Years W L WP Delaware State 1997-2005 103 40 0.720 Bethune-Cookman 1996-2005 112 46 0.709 Howard 1997-2002 68 34 0.667 Florida A&M 1997-2005 81 64 0.559 Coppin State 1996-2005 73 86 0.459 Norfolk State 1998-2005 58 82 0.414 North Carolina A&T 1997-2005 59 87 0.404 Maryland-Eastern Shore 1997-2005 26 126 0.171
I never realized that, but in the admittedly limited context of the MEAC, Howard wasn't too bad. It would definitely be a boost for the league if the occasional rumors came true, and they restarted baseball.
Missouri Valley Conference Team Years W L WP Wichita State 1996-2005 226 72 0.758 Southwest Missouri State 1996-2003 175 122 0.589 Creighton 1996-2005 152 141 0.519 Evansville 1996-2005 141 158 0.472 Southern Illinois 1996-2005 140 161 0.465 Illinois State 1996-2005 135 163 0.453 Indiana State 1996-2005 134 173 0.436 Northern Iowa 1996-2005 130 171 0.432 Bradley 1996-2005 113 187 0.377
This one's much closer than it used to be. The last five years are closer still. There's no sign, though, that the rest of the league has improved any; Wichita just dropped back to the pack.
Mountain West Conference Team Years W L WP San Diego State 2000-2005 110 67 0.621 Brigham Young 2000-2005 108 70 0.607 Nevada-Las Vegas 2000-2005 107 73 0.594 New Mexico 2000-2005 99 81 0.550 Utah 2000-2005 76 104 0.422 Air Force 2000-2005 35 140 0.200
Except for Air Force, they're all competitive. Some of these teams should be better than they are, as a rule.
Northeast Conference Team Years W L WP Monmouth 1996-2005 146 73 0.667 Maryland-Baltimore County 1999-2003 76 41 0.650 Rider 1996-1997 27 15 0.643 Central Connecticut State 1999-2005 102 60 0.630 Marist 1996-1997 22 20 0.524 St. Francis 1996-2005 103 114 0.475 Long Island 1996-2005 104 117 0.471 Quinnipiac 1999-2005 77 87 0.470 Fairleigh Dickinson 1996-2005 100 120 0.455 Sacred Heart 2000-2005 65 78 0.455 Wagner 1996-2005 99 119 0.454 Mount St. Mary's 1996-2005 69 146 0.321
I know the difference between #23 and #28 isn't all that significant in the grand scheme of things, but the NEC didn't use to be that bad; defections by Marist, Rider, and UMBC have all hurt them. Long Island used to be decent; they've dropped 40 games relative to .500 in the last 5 years.
Ohio Valley Conference Team Years W L WP Jacksonville State 2004-2005 35 19 0.648 Southeast Missouri State 1996-2005 144 84 0.632 Middle Tennessee State 1996-2000 70 44 0.614 Eastern Illinois 1997-2005 127 80 0.614 Austin Peay State 1996-2005 134 96 0.583 Samford 2004-2005 28 26 0.519 Eastern Kentucky 1996-2005 118 110 0.518 Tennessee Tech 1996-2005 109 118 0.480 Murray State 1996-2005 106 125 0.459 Morehead State 1996-2005 93 137 0.404 Tennessee-Martin 1996-2005 51 176 0.225
Jacksonville State has been a good pickup; sort of the reverse move from the Delaware situation I talked of earlier.
Pacific Ten Conference Team Years W L WP Stanford 1996-2005 177 81 0.686 Southern California 1996-2005 166 92 0.643 Arizona State 1996-2005 150 107 0.584 Oregon 1996-1996 14 10 0.583 Washington 1996-2005 136 104 0.567 Oregon State 1997-2005 106 110 0.491 UCLA 1996-2005 123 135 0.477 Arizona 1996-2005 116 142 0.450 California 1996-2005 98 159 0.381 Washington State 1996-2005 70 170 0.292 Portland State 1996-1998 13 59 0.181
These speak for themselves fairly well, but I'll note that Oregon's last record was misleading; that was the last year of the NorPac, so that record was achieved against less-than-stellar UDub, WSU, and Portland area teams.
Patriot League Team Years W L WP Navy 1996-2005 119 79 0.601 Army 1996-2005 119 79 0.601 Bucknell 1996-2005 116 84 0.580 Lehigh 1996-2005 93 107 0.465 Lafayette 1996-2005 75 118 0.389 Holy Cross 1996-2005 70 125 0.359
Is there anything more beautiful than the fact that Army and Navy have played to an exact tie for ten years in what has turned out to be the nation's most competitive conference? The .601 is by far the lowest winning percentage of any of the conference leaders.
Southeastern Conference Team Years W L WP Louisiana State 1996-2005 193 102 0.654 Florida 1996-2005 175 122 0.589 South Carolina 1996-2005 175 123 0.587 Alabama 1996-2005 172 126 0.577 Mississippi State 1996-2005 156 136 0.534 Auburn 1996-2005 153 144 0.515 Arkansas 1996-2005 143 148 0.491 Tennessee 1996-2005 141 154 0.478 Mississippi 1996-2005 139 158 0.468 Georgia 1996-2005 122 172 0.415 Vanderbilt 1996-2005 106 191 0.357 Kentucky 1996-2005 98 197 0.332
LSU proves that slow and steady wins this particular race, anyway, leading the way despite winning few titles over this stretch. Tennessee is under .500 despite at least two CWS appearances during the time in question.
Southern Conference Team Years W L WP The Citadel 1996-2005 193 88 0.687 Georgia Southern 1996-2005 177 96 0.648 College of Charleston 1999-2005 131 73 0.642 North Carolina-Greensboro 1998-2005 142 89 0.615 Western Carolina 1996-2005 171 110 0.609 Elon 2004-2005 35 25 0.583 Furman 1996-2005 141 137 0.507 East Tennessee State 1996-2005 126 151 0.455 Davidson 1996-2005 106 172 0.381 Virginia Military 1996-2003 69 141 0.329 Appalachian State 1996-2005 88 183 0.325 Wofford 1998-2005 69 157 0.305 Marshall 1996-1997 8 34 0.190
This is another one of those results that surprised me. Citadel has only won two titles during this span, but last year was the first time they've finished lower than third since 1996. The top 6 or 7 here make up a nice, strong group.
Southland Conference Team Years W L WP Northwestern State 1996-2005 170 98 0.634 Texas State 1996-2005 160 109 0.595 Louisiana-Monroe 1996-2005 157 109 0.590 Lamar 1999-2005 106 80 0.570 Texas-Arlington 1996-2005 133 135 0.496 McNeese State 1996-2005 128 144 0.471 Texas-San Antonio 1996-2005 123 149 0.452 Sam Houston State 1996-2005 116 152 0.433 Nicholls State 1996-2005 102 166 0.381 Southeastern Louisiana 1998-2005 79 132 0.374
Texas State has had a nice 5-year run to move into second.
Southwestern Athletic Conference Team Years W L WP Southern 1997-2005 210 43 0.830 Jackson State 1997-2005 155 74 0.677 Texas Southern 1997-2005 145 113 0.562 Alcorn State 1997-2005 128 100 0.561 Grambling State 1997-2005 131 121 0.520 Mississippi Valley State 1997-2005 104 117 0.471 Alabama State 1997-2005 107 146 0.423 Alabama A&M 1999-2005 63 107 0.371 Arkansas-Pine Bluff 1998-2005 72 155 0.317 Prairie View A&M 1997-2005 58 194 0.230
This has been another one-horse race for the most part. Valley's 78-game improvement relative to .500 between the two decade-long periods in question may be the largest in the nation, although I'm too lazy to check.
Sun Belt Conference Team Years W L WP South Alabama 1996-2005 179 80 0.691 Louisiana-Lafayette 1996-2005 170 93 0.646 Florida International 1999-2005 99 84 0.541 Middle Tennessee State 2001-2005 64 57 0.529 Lamar 1996-1998 39 36 0.520 New Orleans 1996-2005 133 130 0.506 New Mexico State 2001-2005 59 63 0.484 Jacksonville 1996-1998 38 42 0.475 Western Kentucky 1996-2005 123 139 0.469 Texas-Pan American 1996-1998 36 42 0.462 Louisiana Tech 1996-2001 67 98 0.406 Arkansas State 1996-2005 104 154 0.403 Arkansas-Little Rock 1996-2005 81 174 0.318
One relatively big dog, one medium-size dog (who had one shining moment), and a 3-to-4-team pack lagging a bit behind.
West Coast Conference Team Years W L WP Pepperdine 1996-2005 209 84 0.713 San Diego 1996-2005 170 125 0.576 Santa Clara 1996-2005 164 131 0.556 Loyola Marymount 1996-2005 150 142 0.514 San Francisco 1996-2005 145 150 0.492 Gonzaga 1996-2005 136 154 0.469 St. Mary's 1996-2005 104 187 0.357 Portland 1996-2005 92 197 0.318
First is easy, but would you have known who was second in the WCC over the last ten years? The top two are lined up to dominate this season as well.
Western Athletic Conference Team Years W L WP Rice 1997-2005 214 61 0.778 Cal State Northridge 1996-1996 21 9 0.700 Cal Poly 1996-1996 18 12 0.600 Fresno State 1996-2005 178 127 0.584 Brigham Young 1996-1999 66 51 0.564 Texas Christian 1997-2001 85 69 0.552 San Diego State 1996-1999 65 55 0.542 San Jose State 1997-2005 144 128 0.529 Wyoming 1996-1996 15 15 0.500 Nevada 2001-2005 75 80 0.484 New Mexico 1996-1999 56 60 0.483 Utah 1996-1999 56 62 0.475 Nevada-Las Vegas 1997-1999 39 50 0.438 Hawaii 1996-2005 128 175 0.422 Grand Canyon 1996-1998 31 58 0.348 Louisiana Tech 2002-2005 36 83 0.303 Air Force 1996-1999 26 88 0.228 Hawaii-Hilo 2000-2001 10 56 0.152 Cal State Sacramento 1996-1996 3 27 0.100
Boy, did Rice own the WAC or what?
