Just gotta point out that CU not only has Ultimate Frisbee, but they are ranked in the top 10 in the country and have advanced to the Nationals the past two years.

Another ranking system to fight over.  **]

I don't know if the top 25 algorithm is any different from what it was 10 years ago, but the old RRI used to be pretty bad. It doesn't matter, though - anyone who got their act together in time to submit their paperwork got in to sectionals, and from there it was a matter of qualification through play. Top X at sectionals go to regionals, top Y at regionals go to nationals. RRI determines seeding and can make for a tougher (or easier) road to the next stage of play, but at the end of the day if you can't finish high enough to advance you don't deserve to go. So there's no BCS or PWR style angst over which teams get left out of the championship series. Instead ultimate teams complain about the number of bids their region gets to nationals (or, if they're not serious nationals contenders, the number of bids their section gets to regionals).

I might be a year out of date but I'm pretty sure the Buds managed to get to the semi-finals last year before losing to Florida.

You're right.  I lived with a bunch of the Buds in the 07-08 school year when they were sophomores and last year as seniors, they did very well at the national tournament.

Good to get that milestone out of the way. Nice come from behind win against Colgate. Now, let's see if the team can gain some momentum this weekend.
