Question about tie games

[get'em_griz]

I have a question. We all know that Cat fans love to claim they've won 3 national championships, but their first national championship ended in a 0-0 draw. So technically, they've only won 2. But then they come back and say "the record books show each team was given a share of the title" so it counts as a win. So if their tie counts as a win, then shouldn't our series record against State should be improved to 79-42? Because our 5 ties apparently count as wins for both teams.

So my question is, does anyone know if the NCAA actually counts ties as wins? Or are Cat fans just grabbing on to anything that makes them feel better about their program when comparing it to UM's program?

Ties are not wins.


Oh, and the cats suck.

You're giving way too much power to the NCAA with your question. Who cares what they "count" as a win?

We all know what the facts are: the 1956 Bobcats played in the national championship game, and the game ended in a tie. Whether that "counts" as a national championship or not is purely in the eye of the beholder; it doesn't depend on what the NCAA thinks (particularly since the Cats weren't even in the NCAA at the time - the 1956 national title that they "won" (or didn't, depending on who you ask) was an NAIA title.

Perfect analysis.
