Only beaten two teams with a .500 or better record

[BigBake]

I hear the stat...

"Mac in 12 yrs has only beaten 2 conf teams with a avg winning record above .500."

Can anyone tell me the record of these teams over those 12 yrs?

Ok St
Ok
Tex
TT
A&M
Baylor
KSU
Kan
Mizzou
Nebr

I'd wager Tex, KSU and Nebr are easily above .500. What about the other 9. Seriously I'm curious but I don't have the time to get those numbers to know for sure.

It's Texas Tech in 2002, and Colorado last year. Sad, isn't it?

EDIT: I think you misunderstood the stat. Teams under Mac have beaten 2 teams that finished the year above .500 at the end of the year, meaning that we're better at beating teams during their bad years versus their good years.

Now that I think about it, this stat may be a bit misleading. What about the teams that we beat that had a 5-6 record at the end of the year? If they'd actually beaten us, they'd technically be over .500. A good example woul d be Kansas last year. If we beat them, they'd be 5-6 on the year, and wouldn't add to the two teams we've beaten with a .500+ record. Since they beat us, the opposite happens.

I'm sure Colorado and Oklahoma are well above 500 too.... CU has won the north like 4 straight years...

We know texas tech is.

Baylor and Kansas may be the only ones in our sinking boat since 2000.

I originally put together the stats on CI. There wasn't one team in the conference with a worse record against .500 or better teams.

If you do 1994-2006 we actually fall behind Kansas and our % goes to .282

We've never beat them when they were over .500

Kinda my point...stats never lie but staticians do.

[dmclone]

Our 2 wins were against Colorado who was 7-6 last year and TT in 2002 when they ended up being 9-5.

I guess Baylor is no better
Baylor

Beat ISU (7-5) in 2005
Beat A&M (7-4) in 2004


Kansas

MU 7-5 2005
NU 8-4 2005
ISU 7-5 2005
MU 8-5 2003
TT 7-5 2001.
CO 8-4 1998
CO 10-2 1995

Maybe we should go over to the Big East or Big West. We are undefeated in those conferences (both 1-0).

Ah snap...I lost rep level points for this thread because someone was mad I didn't know the answer to a question I asked. Isn't that usually the point of asking a question??

To the person who dinged my rep: I didn't know the answer nor did I have the time/resources to look it up. But I figured a more stat savvy person than me would probably have that number handy.
