The B1G title would be real nice feather in their cap in what is turning out to be a stellar season. But this weekend's performances have been great - they're not just beating up on the Little Sisters of the Poor out in Ohio this weekend. They're winning over well-established athletic programs. Are there any B1G teams in this event that RU hasn't defeated?

Thanks for posting this. I had no idea how they do the scoring to determine where each team finishes.
I consider our 3 biggest B1G rivals in all sports, Money sports plus Olympic sports, to be PSU, Maryland, and Michigan. I feel like no matter what sport, we have to get past 1 of the 3 to get some hardware.
We raced head to head against all the top programs in this event except for Tennessee. Would have liked to see how we would have done. Based on times we would beat them. Beat everyone except UVA. Michigan and us neck and neck. The group should leave this event feeling really good. I like your logic but if we are ranked 7-8 in the next polls we should be happy at this point. Clearly a very strong showing.
Understood but I’d say top-to-bottom, right now, they’re our biggest PITA and a department we CAN equate this decade. They’re in our sights, no question, but what happened with FH this weekend was a crusher and they do it to us in a lot of sports.
I would add OSU to that list. RU now has good rivalries with them in a number of sports and this year, football and men's bball aside, did quite well against them, winning more often than losing against one of the two richest athletic programs in the country. Maybe GS can get us to the point where even in football, we can have a great rivalry.

I like the fact that it's an inaugural race, meaning it'll take place every year. Good for the team to prepare for the B1Gs/NCAAs.
