I have to admit I was wondering that as I was writing.

I believe that awhile back, WIM looked at season to season consistency and noted Stanford was not.

I don't believe WiM compared us to other programs, which is really what you want to do. Anyway, giant table incoming, here's every programs' average offensive game efficiency (per BCF Toys, so you have to accept that their method is capturing game efficiency reasonably) and the standard deviation between games. I bolded Stanford so we'd stand out (also I'm going to break this up into two posts, since it exceeded the character limit...):

77	Cincinnati	-1.03	11.23
78	Louisville	12.15	11.22
79	Buffalo	5.96	11.09
80	Stanford	8.56	11.09

Anyway, per this metric we're not really all that inconsistent, compared to all other teams, in the top half in consistency. It would be nice to be higher. If anyone cares I can do this again through years, vlookup is MAGIC!
