RE: Directors' Cup will be awarded for 2020-21 - bnarver - 06-08-2021
Michigan currently has scored in 14 optional sports. 2 in Fall, 8 in Winter, and 4 in Spring. They can fully count 1 more sport. Their lowest score comes in men's ice hockey where they received 25 points. If they score in a 16th sport and receive more than 25 points, that sport would replace men's ice hockey, and 25 points will be subtracted from their total.
Michigan was in 2nd place behind Stanford in the 2018-19 Winter standings and finished in 2nd place in the final standings. That was their best finish since 2003-4 when they also finished in 2nd place. Since that time, they have finished out of the top 10 five times. In the 26 years the Cup has been awarded, they have finished in the 3rd - 6th range 15 times.
Texas was in 13th place in the 2018-19 Winter standings and finished 4th in the final standings, so they definitely can score in the Spring sports. That was their best finish since they finished 3rd in 2005-6. They are currently 211.75 points behind Stanford. In 2018-2019, they scored 601.25 points in the Spring. If they do the same this year, that would give them 1159.5 points. In 2018-19, they finished 2nd in men's golf, 2nd in rowing, and 1st in men's tennis. Those were their 3 highest finishes. This year, they finished in 25th, 1st, and 3rd, respectively. They weren't in the baseball tournament in 2018-2019. This year, they are the #2 seed. With the men ranked 4th and the women ranked 7th in track and field, Texas figures to move up substantially in the final standings.

If they don't then I'm worried about our Sixth and Seventh Fleet ship handling.Don't forget about the Coast Guard Academy. We want them near the top as well. Fortunately, they finished in the top 10. If you are ever curious, who the top sailing teams are, below is a link to the national results. It was a little less competitive this year with most of the Ivy League not allowed to participate (except Brown). Dartmouth and Yale are normally top 10 teams. UCSB had an impressive showing as the only other CA team that qualified. There are about 200 college teams nationally but 75% of them are club sports.

Yes - It is baseball that worries me a bit. They could easily get 100 points as Arkansas has not looked that good.
They don't look like they will score a lot in OTF this year, but they live in a part of the USA where they could have someone find their sprinter form and score big points.
For now I will assume Texas and UNC are the two to watch. It was always easy enough for me to cheer against Texas, so no worries there for me cheering against them in the Super Regional.
The others could get close to 1150, but that's not going to be enough even in this very down year for Stanford.

Thanks to the Big Mojo Blast in T1, there was just enough game mojo for the W. But man it felt tenuous . . . right up to the final out.

Texas slipped under our radar.
I've updated my version of the table above to include Texas. They've had a very good spring, with championships in 2 more sports.
Not counting baseball, M T&F, W T&F, Texas is 62.75 points behind Stanford.
If Texas matches their prediction for T&F, they will get M: 4th (80 points) and W: 7th (72 points), which will vault Texas far past Stanford.
Now the question becomes whether Stanford can beat Texas? If Stanford wins baseball and Texas fails to advance, Stanford would be 98.75 points ahead.
If predictions hold for T&F, Stanford would lose by about 47 points.
It seems the Director's Cup is Texas's to lose at this point, which is unlikely. From the Men's T&F analysis, it seems Texas could drop to 6th (73.5 pts), but not likely lower than that. From the Women's T&F analysis, it seems Texas could drop to 8th (70.5 pts), but not likely lower.
It appears that the T&F scores 8 places in each event with 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 points. If Stanford were to go 1-2 in the Women's 1500 & 5000, the most T&F meet points Stanford could score would be 36, which might be good for 6th place (73.5 points for the Director's Cup (- 50)). With optimum outcomes, Stanford would have 1089.75 + 100(baseball)+ 73.5-50 = 1213.25. With pessimistic outcomes for Texas, Texas would have 1027 + 64(baseball) + 73.5(M T&F) + 70.5(W T&F) = 1235.
Texas would have scores from FB (20th 54), WVB (2nd 90), WBB (5th 73), MBB (33rd 25), WSw (3rd 85), MSw (1st 100), W In T&F (8th 70.5), M In T&F (14th 60.75), WGolf (5th 72.75), MGolf (25th 49), Rowing (1st 100), SB (9th 64), WTen (1st 100), MTen (3rd 83), Baseball (?), W Out T&F (?), M Out T&F (?)
Stanford would have scores from WCC(3rd 85), MCC (5th 75), FH (5th 60), MSoc (9th 64), MWP (3rd 55), WBB (1st 100), Fencing(11th 57), MGym(1st 100), WSw(9th 69), MSw(14th 48), Wrestling (17th 57), BVB (7th 25), WGolf (5th 72.75), MGolf (37th 34.5), WLax (17th 25), Rowing(2nd 90), Softball (17th 50), WTen (17th 50), MTen (17th 50), WWP (3rd 55), Baseball(?), W Out T&F(?).
182.5 points will be removed from Stanford's scores as Stanford scored in 5 too many sports.

Sadly that aligns with my suspicion.
Texas has been doing well in a lot of championships in the last 6 weeks.
Track & Field is not as easy as swimming to predict, but Texas should get lots of OTF points because they have a number of athletes that are likely to make their event finals.
However if Texas wins it should elevate the NACDA Directors’ Cup profile. Which may be needed.
I suspect this is also why the NACDA decided rather late in the academic year to have a cup this year.

I guess it really is the year of the Longhorn. Along with their three NCAA titles (the most of any school so far this year) they'll get a shiny Directors' Cup.
I'm confident women's volleyball will help us get back to the top next year.

Still feel this way, of course. Oh well, I have three niblings who are alums of UT-Austin, so they'll be happy.

Texas has a really good first day in Men’s T&F
RE: Directors' Cup will be awarded for 2020-21 - bnarver - 06-09-2021
Texas is currently tied for 4th in men's track and field. Florida is tied for 6th. Stanford is tied for 31st as Charles Hicks finished 7th in the 10,000 m. The first 10 runners beat the meet record of 28:01.30, which had stood for 42 years. Hicks time of 27:47.63 beat his previous PB by 37 seconds. The winning time was 27:41.87. Ky Robinson won his heat of the 3,000 m steeplechase in 8:36.29, beating his previous PB by 4 seconds.
Women's events start on Thursday.

So, are we in danger of finishing 3rd in Cup points?

If we don't win the cup, do they fire Muir? (kidding, or maybe not. Good excuse as any if "they" aren't happy with him).

Neither Stockton nor Toseville are in Sacramento county
Abd that’s your geography lesson for today.
Life goes on plus I’m sure you’re aware Stanford men are in 2nd place in the capital one cup
