It’s once again time to look at senior graduation statistics loss. These articles attempt to shed a light into what teams will be losing statistics based on the players lost to graduation.

Last Teams In & Awesome Other Stuff
In my last article I mentioned I wanted to look at the last teams in and compare them against the teams that were under consideration when all of the at-large bids were handed out.
