Stanford wins AGAIN

Dynasty.

  • Stanford 422.458
  • Michigan 419.889
  • Illinois 415.59
  • Oklahoma 414.024
  • Nebraska 412.4257
  • Penn State 412.057

The big SURPRISE is how close the competition was to Stanford.

Congratulations Fred Richard and Michigan.

Oklahoma 2023 Champions

So close.

  1. Oklahoma 198.3875
  2. Florida 198.2375
  3. Utah 197. 9375
  4. LSU 197.5259

Many feel Florida could have taken the title with judging that better separated the best from the very best.

BUT we are stuck with the silly NCAA boxed high scores of 2023.
