I was digging through the numbers today; it
appears that a few of the teams with impressive win totals have racked up their
wins playing opponents that don’t have a very good overall records. Some might
call them cupcakes.
To date, the Gophers have played one team with
a record “at” .500, the Minnesota State Mavericks which they split with and
have played against no one that is currently ranked in the top 20 national
rankings.
To date, the UNO Mavericks have played a grand
total of “one” game against a team with a winning record.
The Saint Cloud State Huskies have two wins
against teams with winning records above .500.
Denver University has a 3-3 record against
teams with winning records.
UND has a record of 3-4-0 against teams with
winning records. UND also has a 3-3 record against teams that are ranked in the
top 20.
