I remember back in the 90s, when we were winning 3 or 4 a year, that most assumed we'd catch UCLA's total by around 2005. But we slowed down, and they've been doing well.

I remember back in 1999 it was close enough that UCLA needed to wait until Stanford didn't win a few NCs in December before they could appoint themselves the school of the century.  In the last 15 years UCLA has actually expanded their lead a touch.  The count of Stanford NCs by decade reveals the change.  Don't have the numbers in front of me, but the average haul per year has dropped quite a bit.  80s were impressive.  90s were crazy.  00s were not bad.  10s have been really lean.


However, all of the Pac-12 schools are struggling to win.  Tennis, water polo, swimming, softball and volleyball used to be Pac-10 sports with each school battling other conference schools for titles.  Now, with the exception of water polo, those sports are going to other Power 5 conferences at least some of the time.
