[edit] Billingsley National Championships
I was about to write:
- The Billingsley Report retroactively named Vanderbilt national champions for 1906 and 1911, with an 8-1 record each year.
But Billingsley's site lists different winners than other sites including ncaa.org. What gives? - PhilipR 22:08, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Table on recent wins over SEC opponents
I deleted the table of recent wins over SEC opponents in favor of an expanded section on the overall wins and losses of the Vanderbilt program. This probably presents a more NPOV for the article (i.e., less "look how pitiful Vanderbilt is"). I admit I'm a Vandy alum/booster, but nonetheless, I think a neutral person would agree that no other SEC school has such a table (and the overall record indicates Vanderbilt's general weakness from the 1950-2000 period).

- Yes, you're probably right about the POV. Certainly no other SEC program has such a table and it's not expected. I put it in because I find that info interesting (as a VU fan) but it could probably be presented in a more theoretically objective way, like a color-coded table for each series or something. That way when we go 10-2 the next dozen seasons, we don't have to worry about it losing meaning. Cheers, PhilipR a/k/a PhilipVU94 08:29, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
