nova is very deserving (some SU history stats here too)

Ended the season number 1 in simple rating system. Point differential weighted by your schedule's point differential and ranked

UConn getting two titles when they're nowhere near top 10 in SRS is totally unusual. I'm not sure where SU would've ended up had they beat UNC and Nova but it probably (maybe) wouldn't have been that much worse than 2014 UConn

final SRS of national champion. If not for UConn, SU in 03 would've been the "worst" national champion going back at least to 96

Interesting that the 96 team was as "good" as the 03 team

This proves what we knew all along: uconn sucks, their last two titles were total flukes and they belong in mid-major status where they will rot for eternity.
