The Unofficial Furman Football Page

NOTE: This data is grouped by the affiliations of Teams now. Where either Team was positioned when any of these games were actually played is not contemplated by the data/groupings.

Extremely impressive compilation. Thank you. Quite a lot to be happy about reflected in the data.

Good write up. Thanks for putting it together.

I’m at least moderately surprised we’re 0-4 against Bucknell.

That bad loss to the 2nd Development Regiment is the one that still eats at FUBeAR

FUBeAR, did you recently retire? Great info, thanks!

FuBear - thank you for doing this.
I started tinkering on this after seeing the thread on AGS… and gave up.
LOL!

Yeah - found a way, after a few failed tries, to get the source info out of the 2022 FU Football Record Book into a format that was ‘in line’ and wasn’t too cumbersome to manipulate - so … about an hour or so to compile, sort, calculate.

Something else FUBeAR just learned from that thread…

Re: NDSU…

So…

* 86% of the bizuns OOC losses have been Away games.

* And, the bizuns have lost 67% of the Playoff games they have played at an Opponent’s Home stadium.

* And, less than 20% of the bizuns overall OOC games have been Away games.

* And, less than 8% of the bizuns OOC Playoff games have been Away games.

Y’all think starting the pre-season with a high-ranking, which leads to (really the only way) getting a high seed, which leads to getting Home Playoff games (not to mention a week to rest AND also not to mention also often facing inferior competition in round 2) matters?

FUBeAR does - this is that ‘triple-stacked deck’ we’ve seen. Yes - NDSU has been VERY good, BUT look at that road Playoff record … it’s a small sample size, but it is an absolute anomaly from the rest of the data. Even really good Teams lose when they have to travel in the Playoffs.

In order to, realistically, have a shot at a deep Playoff run, we have to find a way to get the deck stacked in our favor and seize the advantage when we do. OR - the Playoff system must be changed. These high rankings will help, but they are not high enough and they are not sufficient.
