One of my teams won a playoff game yesterday. That's awesome. The first time that ever happened was in April 2014. Though it seems it's been happening more recently.
I'm going to go back to the year 2001 and look at the playoff records combined. I'll even through in Illinois Basketball and Illinois Football. I'll count March Madness games and Bowl Games, even though they're not technically playoff games. Unfortunately, I can't count Avs until 2011 when I moved to Colorado and became a fan. And I can't count Illinois until fall 2001, so no 2001 march madness tournament. I will go by calendar year, using the date the game was played.
2001: 0-0
2002: 2-2 (Illinois basketball 2-1, Illinois football 0-1)
2003: 1-1 (Illinois basketball 1-1)
2004: 2-2 (Illinois basketball 2-1, Chiefs 0-1)
2005: 5-1 (Illinois basketball 5-1)
2006: 1-1 (Illinois basketball 1-1)
2007: 0-2 (Illinois basketball 0-1, Chiefs 0-1)
2008: 0-1 (Illinois football 0-1)
2009: 0-1 (Illinois basketball 0-1)
2010: 1-0 (Illinois football 1-0)
2011: 2-2 (Illinois football 1-0, Illinois basketball 1-1, Chiefs 0-1)
2012: 0-0
2013: 1-1 (Illinois basketball 1-1)
2014: 3-6 (Avs 3-4, Illinois football 0-1, Chiefs 0-1)
2015: 0-0
2016: 1-1 (Chiefs 1-1)
2017: 0-1 (Chiefs 0-1)
2018: 2-5 (Avs 2-4, Chiefs 0-1)
2019: 8-7 (Avs 7-5, Chiefs 1-1, Illinois football 0-1)
2020: 4-0 (Chiefs 3-0, Avs 1-0 and counting)
Pretty wild to see how bad Chiefs were before Mahomes and what a difference he's made. Illinois basketball really fell off a cliff.
If instead I used playoff series in hockey and only used BCS bowls, the numbers would look even worse.
