x is too small of a sample to target.
RPI, SOS, wins, Conference finishes, NCAA appearances and wins, all measure against the field. Measuring solely against x is fools gold because you could pass them on their way down.

I would assume that the current decade of X's results would be enough to determine that is where we need to be. I would hope that the majority of people on here would be smart enough to realize that if X took a dump, that we wouldn't want our bar set at that point.
Maybe I should have been more specific. I am pretty sure if X fell on their face, they wouldn't be talking about UD setting the bar and trying to achieve what we have. They can simply say they need to get back to where they were from say 2001-2010...We can't do that.
