2014 Duke
2015 Denver
2016 UNC
2017 Maryland
2018 Yale
2019 Virginia
This is the longest streak of consecutive years (6) with a different champion in the modern era. Will this streak continue? Or will one of these teams return to the throne as champions for 2021.
If I had to guess, I would think that Duke has the best chance to end this streak with Maryland chasing closely in the rearview mirror.
If I had to guess who would extend this streak, I would go with Cornell, Syracuse and Penn State in that order.
I am just thrilled that it looks like there will actually be a season. Can’t wait! #Go Hens!
6 Consecutive Years with a Different Champ
Re: 6 Consecutive Years with a Different Champ
Well, technically 2020 had no champ, so the streak is over. Setting that aside, if Duke were to win the next national championship, it would remain six consecutive full seasons with a different champion.
Re: 6 Consecutive Years with a Different Champ
Alternatively, no champion at all is still "different," so you could argue the streak is actually at 7 years with 6 unique champions.
Re: 6 Consecutive Years with a Different Champ
come on now, we all know that UVA is still the Champion!
So 2 - years in a row....
STILL somewhere back in the day....

Been a nice two-year run HooDat.
Would you consider it a Three-peat if they win this year?

Re: 6 Consecutive Years with a Different Champ
So much unknown so really hard to predict, on paper Duke and Md look like favorites. The way the season plays out with COVID will also play a role. Hopefully, everyone plays every game on their schedules but based on the fall and winter seasons that is very unlikely. I am however optimistic after sitting on a Zoom call with my son's coach that they are going to do everything possible to make this happen. One thing I learned is we need states to allow gatherings of 500 plus before any fans will be allowed in games, at least that is the rule for the MAAC.

Re: 6 Consecutive Years with a Different Champ
Assuming the pattern continues at least a couple to a few more years, might Notre Dame be one of them?
Re: 6 Consecutive Years with a Different Champ
If Hopkins can't win this year I'm all in on penn state. One of their athletic departments big donors owns the buffalo bills so maybe the magic will spread to their program.
Re: 6 Consecutive Years with a Different Champ
I would bet that one of those 6 teams will win the title this year; so by the standard your suggesting there won't be a "different champ." Will there be a back to back champ? I probably wouldn't put my money on UVA this year; though they'd be in my Top 5
Re: 6 Consecutive Years with a Different Champ
The 2020 Champion COVID-19 might be hard to take down this season, especially considering we wont see a NCAA bubble out in Utah. Wouldnt be surprised if we see them repeat this Spring...
Re: 6 Consecutive Years with a Different Champ
Hard to look at this list and think that one of these teams wont win it all again this spring. Definitely going to fade Syracuse hard this spring. Too much pressure for them not to crack on the big stage. Also dont want to hear it from the NY crowdHenpecked wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 11:32 am 2014 Duke

Re: 6 Consecutive Years with a Different Champ
I think you have the right pick - COVID is the heavy favorite to take the title this year, but I am crossing my fingers for an upset....
