The losses to Mercer (x2), VMI, UIC, Loyola, Charleston and N. Iowa (among others) didn’t convince you? How about we do some regressions for you as well?
Nevertheless, we’ll take the Pepsi Challenge. The Chi outcome is .1128. Does that make you feel better? Not significant, but a strong degree of independence nevertheless.
One thing we do agree with you – we should have put up our data source, but we’re not sure what you’re talking about with “two guys.”

Then you could run a Chi-square to determine if the cross tab (e.g., the whole table) is due to luck or randomness. That would tell you about a thousand percent more than your posting or two guys doing god knows what to data drawn from god knows where.
