Nothing against the RCA, but the fact that a team wins that award doesn't seem to be an indicator to me that they are tougher to beat on the field.

It would be fantastic if someone (with more time than me) would run the data for all the regionals checking for Regional Champions, & Regional Finalists. I bet this data would help someone create a more accurate picture.

Sorry I missed this post a while back, I am running a script right now to crunch the BBQ since 2005 numbers. Tonight I will work on expanding it to have this data instead. Id say Regional/Championship/ Division finalists and winners would count on this one.

I'll post my results and the scripts themselves here when they finish.
