Something to aim for: Pts - GA > 0

[Greg Berge]

Does not happen in a major conference very often.  Here are the records.  Some of my western data is incomplete from earlier years so I might have missed a few:

Cornell, 1968; 38-29 = 9
Michigan State, 2001; 45-37 = 8
Michigan State, 1999; 47-40 = 7
Harvard, 1962; 36-30 = 6
Cornell, 1967; 37-32 = 5
Cornell, 1970; 42-39 = 3
Cornell, 2002; 36-34 = 2


Currently:

Cornell, 2003; 33-27 = 6

which means they could arguably become "the most effective defense of all time in conference play" with some really stifling D down the stretch.

Cornell, 2003: 39-29=10.  Incredible.

And, as I mentioned on another thread...

Conference pts - OVERALL GA = 0!!!

for a team that only played 75.8% of games in conference.
