Only Monroe performs worse than we do per sport to date.

I have noticed that also, but it is a bit misleading. MSOC only offers 6 points for winning for example. That is part of the situation. The Unity points does a bit better job, in my view, of equating each sport.

You'll need to explain that one for me.

It is something I started doing when I was tracking SoCon cups points a number of years ago.

For the SB, I divide the points earned by the points possible for each sport so winning the conference is worth one point and coming in the middle of the pack would be worth 0.5 points and coming in last would be 1/n where n is the number of schools sponsoring the sport. It equalizes the value of every sport to range from 1/n to 1.0 point earned per sport. For MSOC with only 6 schools a school could win the conference and still drop their Bubas Cup point average. My unity points method helps eliminate this statistical anomaly.

Every conference does the Cup points different. There is no right or wrong, but I personally like to see each sport count equally and not base it on the number of schools competing.
