Statistics must now be extrapolated

The 2012 NCAA Division I-A Record Book (PDF, p. 64-65) no longer lists all-time win-loss records by percentage and victory total for every team. Only the top 50 are given for those two categories, with every team listed alphabetically after that.

This is a very, very stupid thing to do. It doesn’t take that much effort to update those numbers — they have to be maintained for the alphabetical listing and general purposes anyway! — and it’s certainly not a case of running out of space in the page or file. These listings were what I used for the “Where ISU stands” posts. It looks like I’ll have to take the 2011 listings and adjust accordingly, although that does create room for error.

Of note in the abbreviated listings: Kansas is now below .500 all-time after its loss to Kansas State this season, and if Iowa wins six seven games this year the sixth seventh will be its 600th all-time as a program. (If.)

EDIT/UPDATE: See Oct. 23 post. The NCAA and Iowa also disagree on an outcome.
