With preseason approaching, it's as good a time as any to take a look at how the Stats Perform/Analyst Top-25 shook out in each of the past four full seasons. Dartmouth finished 18th following the 2018 season, 22nd following the 2019 season, and 20th following the 2021 season.

EXTRA POINT
Some of you may have heard of Patreon, which describes itself as, "a membership platform that provides business tools for content creators to run a subscription service."
Many of these "content providers" offer subscribers rewards such as behind-the-scenes videos, post cards, personalized thank you notes, phone calls and even dinner with the "creators," depending on their subscription level.
BGA Premium does not use Patreon. But last year for the first time, I stole a page from Patreon and offered subscribers the opportunity to send along a little extra.
Their reward? Absolutely nothing more than what they receive for the base rate and the knowledge that they are helping BGA keep going for another year.
What happened has been a little surprising and very special and has taken much of the sting out of having to replace my laptop this summer. You’ve come through in a big way and I can’t thank you enough.
