Directors Cup Thread

BWilk55 · November 23, 2021

As some of you are aware, Texas ended a streak of 25 straight Director's Cup victories for Stanford this past year by taking home our first Director's Cup championship. Overall, winning the cup requires high level performances by almost all of Texas's 20 NCAA teams. Stanford, and schools with a large number of competing sports, is at a significant advantage in the Director's Cup as your top 19 finishes can score points (the avg number of teams fielded by Div 1 schools is 19). Stanford has 29 sports teams and many of these are in small sports with a small group of teams competing (beach VB, field hockey, water polo). Texas has been one of the most consistent teams in the Director's Cup with a handful of 2nd place finishes and ranks in the top 5 with 21 top 10 finishes.

As a way to monitor our overall athletic department success this year, I will track our team finishes and compare them to last season as a sign of progress or regression. I hope these periodic updates are appreciated and help remind everyone that our athletic department is one of the tops in the nation, even when our football team is floundering.

UT kicks ass at the Olympic sports.

Things are looking good for men's hoops and, of course, baseball too. If only we had a football team worth bragging about.

Updated to show pre-season ranking updates for baseball and tennis. All 3 teams start ranked very highly after having great NCAA finishes last year and returning lots of talent. Baseball has been discussed in detail elsewhere.

Reigning champs W tennis brings back 5 key Freshmen players from last years team and added the extremely talented Zamarippa twins.

Mens tennis also picks up where they left off with a #3 ranking.

I would expect rowing to be ranked in the top 3 from the start to the end of the season to give us another high scoring team in the spring.

Updated to show Week 1 rankings for indoor track and field. Both Men and Women's teams have high expectations with ranks of #1 and #2 respectfully. A good indoor season also likely has a good correlation to a good outdoor season in the Spring so these team's successes could lead to 4 good scores in the directors cup.

Softball also looks poised for another solid season with ranks between 9-12.

Out of curiosity I filled out the rest of the season based on current rankings. Rowing and outdoor T&F do not have rankings yet so I assumed conservative rankings of 3rd for rowing and 10th for both track teams.

Last years athletic program scored 1252 to win the cup. This years team would score 1308.25 (Mens CC points don't get included as you can only include top 19 scores). So, if the results hold, this team would outperform last years championship program. That said, Stanford is regularly scoring 1500+ points to take home the championship so we need them to stumble across the board. Their large and successful athletic department really gives them an advantage in this scoring system.

Sharing here as we don't have a T&F thread. This is a huge pick up for women's Track. Bowerman finalist (Heisman of track and field) and field athlete of the year. Grad Transferring from A&M of all places. She will be a favorite for NCAA Gold in High Jump, Long Jump and Heptathalon/Pentathalon events. She outscored the entire Texas track team at the indoor meet last year and nearly did so in the outdoor championship as well. Team was already ranked #3 so this addition will really help in the bid for 2 National Championships.

Thanks. If you like to hear about the non-revenue sports, check out this podcast. These guys spend most of their time on the marquee sports but do a weekly run down of all UT sports. I shared this thread with them and they spent a few minutes discussing it on air.

A few items to update:

1. I erroneously failed to give women's cross country a ranking and points. We didn't not send a full team to NCAAs but by sending 1 runner we were granted a tied for 32nd ranking (31 teams competed) and 27 points. Read on to see why this mistake is likely a moot point.

2. Men's track and field bumped up to #1 and women's up to #2. I am not sure that the women's rankings are factoring in Tyra Gittens or not but as mentioned above she will really help this team score some points at NCAAs.

3. A note on scoring. I mentioned in the OP that your 19 top scores are counted but I should clarify that Football, Men's and Women's Basketball and Baseball must be included in the 19 scores used. In other words, you get scores for those 4 sports and then use your next highest 15.

Bummer for Texas is that this means the 0 points scored for football will be included in our final tally. However, using Stanford as the gold standard, we still have a chance since Stanford also did not play a bowl game in football. Further, they are also likely to score a 0 for men's basketball as they are not looking like a NCAA tourney team currently.

If our current predicted results stand, Texas will score points in all 20 sports except football. Since we have to count football, it is likely that our Women's CC score of 27 will be dropped in the final scoring and if that is the case, that means we have had a very successful year across the board.

BWilk55 · February 16

A few important updates:

Women's Track and Field made the jump up to #1 in the rankings this week. We have very strong sprinters and jumpers (not great at distance or throwing). Tyra Gittens made her presence felt in high jump and long jump by entering the top 5 in both events nationally.

Rowing has been ranked #1 in the preseason polls. Stanford also received some first place votes with Washington being a clear 3rd. I don't think it is too early to say we are a top 3 lock, if not top 2 at this point.

BWilk55 · March 13

After dropping to #6 in the rankings, the men's indoor track and field team secured a national championship. This was a team with no short distance runners but a strong field and distance running contingent. The story here is how the runners outperformed their expected finishes to pick up valuable points to surge up the leaderboard.

Jonathon Jones and Yusuf Bizimana were the 4th and 6th best 800 M runners coming into the meet but both improved their ranking by 2 spots by finishing 2nd and 4th respectively.

Crayton Carrozza finished 7th in the mile while coming in outside of the top 10 rankings.

The 4X400 team finished 2nd despite coming in with a top 7 ranking.

Texas won the Distance Medley Relay despite posting the 10th best time before the NCAAs.

Adrian Pipieri took 2nd in shot put as expected.

Leo Neugebbaur took 3rd in the heptaltathon.

Those 7 scores totaled to 47 points, outscoring NC AT&T by 11 points and the other UT by 16 points.

BWilk55 · March 13

The women's track and field team took home 2nd place. After reaching #1 in the rankings, the team entered the NCAA meet ranked #3 overall. This was a team buoyed by sprinters and jumpers. Florida really ran away with this meet, they even scratched their 4x400 team at the end of the meet because they held a 20 point lead in the team standings.

Julien Alfred came in as a top 3 60 M sprinter and set the collegiate record in prelims. She ran a bit slower in the finals and took home 5th while Rhasidat Adeleke outperformed her ranking by finishing 8th and securing 1 point for the team standings.

Texas had 4 runners in the top 11 in the 200 M coming into the meet and secured 4th 5th and 8th place finishes by Rhasidat, Kynnedy Flannel and Julien Alfred respectively.

Kennedy Simon and Stacey Williams entered the 400 M as the 6th and 7th ranked runners but finished in 2nd and 3rd place.

No surprise that Texas has a strong 4x400 squad given the above finishes. They came in with the 4th best time this season and finished in 2nd place.

Valery Tobias was not expected to earn points in the 800 M event but but ran a personal best to finish 4th overall.

Tyra Gittens finished 2nd in the high jump. Surprisingly she didn't place in the long jump.

Ackelia Smith finished 6th in the triple jump as a freshmen.

Kristine Blazevica came in ranked 2nd in the pentathalon and ended up with a 6th place finish.

It will be nice when the football team can contribute in a major way.

BWilk55 · March 14

Stanford did not make the NCAA tournament in men's hoops so will be forced to take a 0. That's 2 goose eggs for Stanford.

BWilk55 · March 21

Women's S&D took home second this past week. Virginia was stacked and ran away with the championship. Texas edged out Stanford who finished 3rd.

Men's hoops will finish tied 17th.

Women's hoops will do no worse than tied for 9th but no doubt they have a shot at winning the whole thing.

BWilk55 · March 27

Men's Swimming and Diving took home a 2nd place finish today, losing out to Cal. Cal and Texas have been the 2 teams battling it out in recent years. Texas has had a sizable diving advantage but did not this year and Cal was able to edge them out. Stanford finished 7th which is good but does gives Texas a points advantage for the Directors Cup.

Women's basketball has secured a top 5 finish by making the elite 8. Beating Stanford would be huge not only for the team itself but also to gain some points in this contest.

Updated to reflect swimming and diving and Basketball results. Texas is currently outscoring last year's results 691 to 558.25 at this point. Cross country and T&F improvements have been pivotal, as has soccer. The biggest loser has been football (no surprise) while volleyball and Men's S&D took small steps back.

Going forward it looks like Texas could match their successful Spring of 2021 with some sports looking improved, others holding serve and some regressing slightly.

One major bright spot is the outdoor track and field teams both earning a #1 overall ranking based on early season results. Indoor and outdoor track isn't drastically different so it would be no surprise to see Texas having similar NCAA results.

BWilk55 · March 31

This Tweet seemed pertinent to this discussion. Texas' average rank in these sports is 7.3. Lots of top 10 finishes coming to end the year!

BWilk55 · April 4

Do not be surprised to see Men's Golf make a jump up the overall rankings board. The Coody brothers have been missing for most of the season after both suffered right arm radial head fractures during a post workout race (https://www.golfchannel.com/news/texas-coody-twins-miss-time-after-breaking-their-arms-freak-accident). Parker returned a few weeks back and has been playing well but most importantly Pierceson made his return this weekend. Pierceson Coody is the #1 amateur golfer in the world, so you can imagine his return is a significant boost.

In his return, Pierceson went ahead and won the tournament outright. The other 4 golfers all finished in the top 13 and the team won the tournament by 26 strokes, besting #2 Oklahoma State who took home second place.

Now, don't expect this type of domination every week as the 50 under par team score set the record for Texas and Pierceson's 17 under is 2nd best in school history. It is a very encouraging result as Big 12 and NCAA tournaments are just around the corner.

With all the winter sports complete, the focus of this thread will be on Texas's chance of besting Stanford once again. I will consider them our biggest competition until proven otherwise.

I'll update the above spread sheet so that we can easily compare scores between the two programs. Official scores will be posted on Thursday but I think I've got it right, or at least very close. Stanford and Texas look to be currently tied. Note that Stanford currently has 2 more sports who have had their seasons end that are scoring points (they have 4 additional that have ended without scoring points). This will not continue to be the case as both teams will max out at 19 sports scored. Also note that each school must use scores from the 4 sports listed at the top of this sheet (baseball, football and both basketball teams). Stanford will be forced to include 2 zeroes on their final score while Texas will carry only 1.

I went ahead and filled in scores for the remaining sports to see how things would shake out if current rankings hold and reflect the true finishes in each sport (Bolded scores reflect predicted score)

Texas would end the year with 1368 points, 116 points better than their score last year. Stanford would improve on last year's score but only by about 22 points. Texas holds an edge of about 150 points which is a significant margin and actually provides a decent amount of wiggle room if Texas underperforms or Stanford overperforms.

Once the official score update is release on 4/7, I'll see if there are any other major competitors looming but as of now, it looks like Texas has a solid path to winning another Director's Cup.

I went ahead and filled in scores for the remaining sports to see how things would shake out if current rankings hold and reflect the true finishes in each sport (Bolded scores reflect predicted score)

Texas would end the year with 1368 points, 116 points better than their score last year. Stanford would improve on last year's score but only by about 22 points. Texas holds an edge of about 150 points which is a significant margin and actually provides a decent amount of wiggle room if Texas underperforms or Stanford overperforms.

Once the official score update is release on 4/7, I'll see if there are any other major competitors looming but as of now, it looks like Texas has a solid path to winning another Director's Cup.

Thanks for all your work on this. After Baylor won the basketball NC last year, I have a friend who proclaimed "Baylor is the best sports university in Texas!" I hit him with the Director's Cup win last to put an end to all that noise lol. But as such I've been trying to keep up with all Texas sports and you've done a phenomenal job and make it easy for the rest of us. Thanks again! \\m//
