I am going to be blunt.
We (and anyone in the ACC) does not have a chance at a national title, but there was always the Miracle on Ice. We are really just trying to get Top 4 (podium finish) or be in the running every year. At least while Cael is at PSU and now Taylor at OkSt. Iowa might find a way to lose it. I will make my case below. I do not know the exact numbers (I could look them up but I am lazy):
- There are like 10 schools to ever win the National Title.
- Between the four of PSU, Iowa, OkSt, and Iowa St. they have won like 75% of all national titles dating back 100 years.
- Believe it or not, in spite of Iowa Gable years and PSU Sanderson dominance the last 15 years, OkSt has the most titles.
- Big Ten + OKSt has won like 95%.
Let that sink in.
