Interesting that the SEC has no one in the top 10 and only 3 in the top 30.  The Pac 12 and pretty much every other conference seems to do better than the SEC.  So is the SEC is a very narrow conference, not supporting many sports?  Or is it just bad at everything besides football?

The scoring to this point is Field Hockey, Soccer (M&W), Cross-country (M&W), and Water Polo (M), just 6 of 37 scoring sports.  I wouldn't call that "everything".


Anyone else notice that during the WVB championship, the Other Cup's results shown in the broadcast did not include the championship from the previous week?    The two NC in group B (3x the points for popular sports + Lacrosse(??)) for Stanford will leave us well in the lead for both men's & women's Other Cup standings.

(FYI, if you haven't looked at a detail of the differences, the Other Cup splits Fencing, Rifle and Skiing into two scoring categories (M&W) instead of one (Co-ed), and adds beach volleyball, resulting in 41 vs 37 scoring categories.  The NCAA site seems to indicate that Rifle & Skiing are co-ed sports (only one championship listed).  The NCAA Championship site for fencing only shows a single championship over the past few years, but the ranking is listed by gender.)
