What was the intended meaning of the statistic?

I agree with the poster’s interpretation completely.

Greg Wrubell is a master of finding meaningless statistics and meaningless all-time records.

He is great at propaganda and stastitics are how he tells the story that all is well and BYU is elite.

how can you disagree on the significance? If it's not significant, why doesn't

if (as we both agree) the fact that Rose has won 20 games per year does not

no, you're still missing the point ... at least the real point

LOL. Not everyone can be in the WCC... A lot of teams want to be in the P5.

In the WCC you get 14 (should be) automatic wins, if you're any good.

This. It would be more noteworthy if we didn’t win 20 games a season. Compare

wow, so you're admitting to have a really irrational interpretation? ok, cool

If 20 wins is awesome to you and Greg, i don’t want to dampen your enthusiasm

technically, they're not "play in games", they're in the tourney
