ESPN finds the most obscure statistics...
Everytime the Big Ten plays the SEC in bowl games, we hear "SEC Speed" all day long. Yet in the last 22 Big Ten-SEC bowl games, each conference has won 11 games, and the Big Ten is 5-3 in the last 8 games (this year not included so far).
In the 12 years of the Big 12, only one team has finished above .500 every year. Oklahoma? No. Texas? No. Texas Tech!
What other obscure, unique statistics have you seen?

Each of the 22 starters for the Indianapolis Colts has ONLY played for the Indianapolis Colts. They do not have a starter who has played for any other NFL team.

Since 2000, Heisman trophy winners are 2-5 in bowl games while the runner up is 3-1 when facing the winner. The only loss is Brad Banks being defeated by Carson Palmer in 03 USC vs Iowa. Otherwise, Heuple defeated Weinke in 2001, Adrian Peterson defeated Jason white in 2004 and Vince Young defeated Reggie bush in 2006.

Adrian Peterson defeated Jason White in 2004? don't get it... they were on the same team. 2003 Heisman winner was White while Larry Fitzgerald was the runner-up 2004 Heisman winner was Matt Leinhart and Adrian Peterson was runnerup |

Add Tim Tebow to that list. In this case, the winner (Tebow/Florida) and runnerup (McFadden/Arkansas) both lost.

In regards to the SEC vs. Big Ten stat, I believe Michigan has fared very well against SEC competition in bowl games although I don't have an exact stat to contribute to this thread.

After reading Dungy's book, it has been his standard practice to build a team through the draft rather than to get free agents. Not that he's never done it, but he prefers the draft. |
