The most non productive sec team is?
The question is what is the most non productive SEC team.
What are the top 3 sports in your opinion? Football, basketball and baseball right?
Since 2004 - total wins - Football, Basketball, Baseball
Auburn - 188
LSU - 223
Kentucky - 221
Mississippi - 215
South Carolina - 220
Vanderbilt - 225
I didn't feel like doing the rest. Certainly they're no powerhouse in anything. But Vandy is as productive or more than any other SEC school across the major sport landscape.
First of all, the original question said all sports apply, so you can't just pick and choose your sports that you want to include.
Secondly, you can't just select the timeframe you want either. Programs go up and down, so you have to look at it from a historical context.
Third, you can't go just based off of games won, when Vanderbuilt's best team is baseball which has a million more games played than football or basketball. Shoot, LSU played almost as many baseball games the first WEEK of the season as they did the entire regular season of football. Therefore naturally whichever baseball team that has the best seasons during that timeframe will automatically be considered among the best. For example, I don't see Florida's numbers listed, but during that timeframe they won two basketball national championships back-to-back and a football national championship, but if they had a terrible baseball team during those years, their standing would look terrible when compared next to Vandy. (When the truth is, Vandie could only DREAM of having that kind of success.
If anything, you have to take a weighted average of all sports, but even then that doesn't account for things like championships, etc. which should merit extra attention.
Fourth, this is the SEC. We have higher standards than any other conference. This isn't the WAC. Our #1 measure of success is national championships, and then secondly we might be able to toss in SEC championships, but that's more of an afterthought. What do you think, about 4 SEC championships are about equal to 1 national championship? Either way, the only thing that really counts are championships. An area which Vandie is severely lacking.
Top 25 rankings? *yawn* Lots of wins? *bigger yawn*
Face it, Vandie is duking it out with MSU and Ole Piss for towel boy status in the SEC. You got one women's bowling national championship to rub in the Mississippi double-mint disaster twin school's faces... *thumbs up*
But hey, chin-up! You are still in the SEC! It's not like you are in the ACC...
