Just for you, Techfan.
Commence your diatribes against the well respected and prestigious Sears Cup.

Wouldn't a more accurate comparison between the ACC schools be to take the Sears Cup points for the sports in which all 9 schools compete and THEN do the rankings?
I suggest this method to put all schools on an even playing field. For example, Duke gets a large number of points in some of the women's sports that Tech does not offer due to the lower percentage of women enrolled at the school.
Just a thought... :)

First of all, I'd like to thank you for putting that coherantly and without flaming. ahem... Techfan
I'm too lazy to do that right now... and it would take a lot of time and research.
UNC competes in the most Sears Cup sports (something like 29)... and Duke competes in close to that (something like 23). I don't know about GT... if you did calculate the average instead of raw points, it would probably narrow the gap, however I highly doubt GT would pass MD, Duke, UVA or UNC.

No problem. I'll gladly indulge my love of research in working on this... :D

Great... tell me when you're done. I'd actually like to see these stats a lot.
The one fault I've always thought the Sears Cup had was giving more credit to school's who can have those non-rev sports like Stanford.
Duke has won the Carlyle Cup 2 out of 3 times, but wasn't ahead of UNC in the Sears Cup...

Okay, I'm done. :D
Edited to include points for football There are 12 Sears Cup sports in which EVERY ACC school competes:
Men's Cross Country
Women's Cross Country
Football
Women's Volleyball
Men's Track & Field
Women's Track & Field
Men's Basketball
Women's Basketball
Men's Golf
Men's Tennis
Women's Tennis
Baseball
Using the points given to each school for these sports on the Sears Cup final standings, here are the ACC rankings:
UNC - 490.8
Duke - 413.5
NC State - 351.5
Clemson - 299.5
GT - 277.3
Wake - 268
FSU - 261.5
Virginia - 174
Maryland - 126.5
As you can see, quite a variation from the overall Sears Cup standings...mainly because of the different non-revenue sports that our schools choose to participate in. GT & Clemson do not have women's golf, FSU & GT do not have men's soccer, GT doesn't have women's soccer, Wake doesn't have any swimming/ diving. On the other end of the spectrum, Duke & UNC are the only ones offering fencing, Maryland, UNC & NC State are the only ones with women's gymnastics.
I have an Excel spreadsheet with all of this broken down by school & Sears Cup sport and it is also color-coded to show what sports each school participates in and what sports all schools participate in. I would be happy to email this spreadsheet to anyone who is interested...just send me a PM with your email address.

Thanks for doing that! Very interesting... I wish women's golf counted, but oh well...
Surprising that Maryland is dead last... :eek: I know they aren't the best athletic dept. in the world, but dead last? Wow.
UVA surprises me a lot, too. They are 2nd in the ACC in the Sears Cup... 8th in the "Lucy Cup" .
I'd love a copy of the spreadsheet. dgolf22@hotmail.com

Maryland & Virginia got a huge amount of points this year in men's & women's soccer, lacrosse & swimming. Since not all schools offer those, they didn't count in the "Lucy Cup" (I'm liking the sound of that :D). Shoot, in the Lucy Cup rankings, Wake loses points for their national championship in field hockey. :frown:
Email incoming...

If I've got my notes correct, then the reason for this is that the Carlyle Cup only compares Duke-UNC matchups and not the whole season.

You're correct... but for the gap between the two in the Sears Cup vs. the Carlyle Cup... it's very inconsistent. I know it's only based on one matchup, but that matchup should be a decent indicator. And... many of the sports play multiple games... basketball, baseball etc....

Wow, excellent work Lucy!
- State and Clemson ended up higher than I thought they would be (due to golf and XC I'd imagine?)
- The closest thing we have to a definitive ranking in football is the BCS; It'd be interesting to see what this looked like with football thrown in using the BCS rankings to calculate points.

I was able to find the points for Div. 1-A football in this table: <a href='http://graphics.fansonly.com/confs/nacda/graphics/0203D1FinalFallStand.PDF' target='_blank'>http://graphics.fansonly.com/confs/nacda/g...alFallStand.PDF</a>
Including those would push State past Clempson :D

Not as excellent as I'd hoped :frown:...I completely missed where Sears Cup did include points for Division 1-A football, so I have edited my original post to reflect the points that FSU, MD, State & Virginia received for finishing in the top 25.
Regarding State & Clemson's finishes: State did get points for both XC teams; Clemson got points for both tennis teams. Clemson would have passed State in points had men's & women's soccer points counted...
