Recently in the "Outstading Ovation Olathe" thread, Stu replied to a comment of mine.
Ghost: You're probably going to see the same top 6/7 anyways.
Stu: Really? Regiment went from 1st to what in one year? Madison might as well just close up shop? Bluecoats and Crown have always been up top? No other corps will "ever" have a shot? Well bust my buttons, you and the G7 proposal are prophetic geniuses!!!!
If TOC began with the results of 2005, the following corps have been in the top 7 each year though 2011: BD, CAD, CAV, & BC. The following corps missed one year: SCV(05), CC(06), and PR(09). In those seven years only three other corps have cracked the top seven: MS(6th in 05), BK(7th in 06), and BAC(7th in 09). With the predicted improvement of the Cavies by many of us, it seems like the same top seven regulars again for the third year in a row.
(If bored, like I was tonight, please let us know if the stats are off. Danke.)
