The State of State Part Five – ACC Rankings (Bar Graphs Galore)

How do NC State’s ACC winning percentages and conference finishes compare to the other schools in the conference during Lee Fowler’s tenure as AD from 2000-01 to 2007-08? Below are winning percentage statistics in ACC play for the 13 sports that have win/loss records and average finish for the 8 sports that do not have win/loss records.

Notes:
• These stats are ONLY for the 21 ACC sports in which NC State competes. They do not include ACC sports in which State does not have a program (lacrosse, field hockey, rowing) or non-ACC sports (gymnastics, rifle).

• The stats for Boston College, Miami and Virginia Tech are only for the seasons they were members of the ACC and not for the full eight year time span.

• In addition to the expansion schools, other schools may not have fielded a team during the full eight year time span (such as NC State Softball).

• Because of the fluctuating number of teams, average finish may not be an ideal statistic but should provide a general idea of how the non-win/loss sports rank.

• Winning percentage graphs are ordered highest to lowest (big bar=good), average finish graphs are ordered lowest to highest (small bar=good).
