<p>How about record vs. USC in 2007? I think I’d win that one.</p>
<p>UCLA’s the sexiest university, no question about it!</p>
<p>What was Duke’s record in football last year?</p>
<p>[Football</a> - Schedule & Results - GoDuke.com—Official Athletics Web site of Duke University](<a href=“Football - Duke University”>Football - Duke University)</p>
<p>Duke has always been more of a basketball school…</p>
<p>Oh wow. They only won one game.</p>
<p>Who’d they beat?</p>
<p>um…Arcadia University has a castle…that’s pretty sexy.</p>
<p>Northwestern. :)</p>

Ask and ye shall receive. The teams haven’t played many common opponents over the years, but since 1995, they’ve played 7 (1995 Wisconsin, 1995 USC, 1996 Wisconsin, 1999 Wisconsin, 2004 ASU, 2005 ASU, 2006 UCLA). In those games NU holds a record of 2-5 Stanford holds a record of 1-5-1. So not much difference there, but NU is still in the lead.</p>
<p>Another method of comparison: Jeff Sagarin’s computer rankings (used in the BCS formula), which attempt to determine which team would win if the two played heads-up (mostly based on strength of schedule and performance of common opponents against common opponents), since the 2003 season (as far back as I can find). Northwestern finished ahead of Stanford in those rankings 3 out of 5 years.</p>
<p>The Vegas lines right now predict Northwestern at +/-6.5 wins this year, Stanford at +/- 4 wins.</p>
<p>I’m not saying it’s a huge advantage for Northwestern, but I’m saying that the numbers bear out NU has been the better team recently and currently. Eventually we’ll see who’s better on the field; the teams are scheduled to face off in 2014 and 2015.</p>
<p>
Are you kidding? I’m not being arrogant, I’m trying to correct the misperceptions you so happily state as fact.</p>
<p>
You don’t think I know this? I was at that game. Say what you want about it, there were some blown calls but it was a terrible loss that never should have happened. I expect Northwestern to annihilate Duke this year. </p>
<p>Don’t tell me Stanford hasn’t had some stinkers over the years.</p>
<p>^ Like the past 5 years =P?</p>
<p>We’re getting the ax back this year, boys. Last year was a fluke.</p>
<p>hahaha lol</p>
<p>UCLA or UCSB</p>
