Chart, Part 2

Today the second of three charts on Dartmouth's 2022 personnel. The offense was posted Tuesday HERE. Barring news that would push it back a day, the special teams will go up tomorrow.

As is the case throughout this series, this chart is drawn from the roster on the official Dartmouth web page. Corrections are welcomed. Click chart to enlarge.

Per SkullSports Dartmouth was first in the Ivy League and second in the FCS among the “Top 100 college football programs generating the most interactions on official team social accounts in June 2022.” (LINK)

This graphic on the Analyst site is a little misleading because it includes the playoffs, meaning apart from the national champion, the only teams that can make the list are from leagues that don't send their teams to the NCAA championships. Hence it features two Ivy League schools as well as Alabama A&M from the SWAC, and North Carolina A&T, which was in the MEAC in 2017. The Ivy League, SWAC and MEAC are the only conferences that do not allow teams to advance to the FCS playoffs.

Green Alert Take: Perhaps a more telling chart would be one listing perfect regular seasons.

EXTRA POINT
During the winter I was a little annoyed that the seat warmer and steering wheel warmer on my car would come on when it wasn't all that cold outside. It's an EV and I wanted to conserve as much electricity as I could and heating up the wheel and my backside when it wasn't particularly cold seemed like a waste.

I never got around to adjusting the temperature at which the heating would kick on, but now I think I'm gonna have to dig up the manual and figure out how to do that.

When I started the car up early this morning for my hike up the mountain I was shocked to find my seat and the steering wheel heat on. OK, it was a little brisk at 48 degrees, but seriously, it's the middle of summer.
