Amazing!!! Has a Pilot baseball team ever been ranked? I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.

Congratulations to Coach Sperry... couldn't be happier for him!!!

Wow!

We are ranked and mighty Oregon State isn't....

WOW!

USA Today still had us in the "receiving votes" category, but we have moved up there, too...

Now if we can just knock off UO next Tuesday in Eugene...

Two state of Oregon teams ranked, and neither one is OS! A shocking development! Go Pilots! How about Best In State?

That is great! Once again, gotta ask, what % of the student body was on a ranked NCAA DI team in 09/10?

I also would like to compare that to percentages at other universities.

I would venture to say that no one in D-I could beat our percentage...

A great question!

Women's soccer: 23
Men's soccer: 21
Men's XC: 40
Men's basketball: 14
Baseball: 32

For a grand total of... 130.

Out of 2990 undergrads... that's 4.3% of the student body. Nice!!! Updated stats below...

OK... updating my stats just a bit (I used an older number for the total number of undergrads):

The total undergrad student population is 3106, which equates to 4.2% of the UP student body being on a nationally ranked sports team in 2009-10.

And heck, if you do it for just men alone… a full 9% of the male students on campus were on a nationally ranked sports team.
