Just stumbled across the thread this morning and started looking at the history of the competition. I remember learning about the Directors' Cup way back when Chris Sims and our best were on the cover of SI head to head with all the Stanford Olympians - looked like an X-Men comic book cover.
Anyway, I'm noticing we haven't had much in-conference competition (Nebraska never finished top-10 after we joined the B12, and TAMU didn't show up in the top-10 until moving to the SEC.) It will be interesting and fun to have in-conference competition next year from Florida, who've had more top-10 showings than us. The SEC also has a ton of teams that have at least shown up in the top-10 once or twice: LSU, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas and Tennessee. I'm curious to see how the SEC competition will affect our Cup standings.
Anybody know how our sports programs line up with the SEC schools' and their strengths? I have no clue about the SEC Olymic sports.
