Do they still have a team??Where's Syracuse
They do, and for the 10th year in a row their board has decided this is the year they finally stop sucking.Do they still have a team??
No one really but if you weighted it on consistent top 5 teams and 1 seeds over last 5 years, with an awesome coach, Houston.Who could they possibly put above UConn?
The top of the top programs have a recent title. Not just here, but everywhere I’m sick of analysts who put data above wins.No one really but if you weighted it on consistent top 5 teams and 1 seeds over last 5 years, with an awesome coach,
I’m with you, but you can frame out Houston with their KPs, territorizing the B12 and 1 seeds over a longer recent time period could make a claim, especially now that their recruiting is also shooting through the roof.The best programs have a recent title.

We'll see. I'm not convinced. Surprised to even see them on here. What have they done the last few years? Made the NCAA Tournament 3 of the last 5 years. Three 6 seeds and 2 wins total (both in 2025). Before 2021 the last NCAA Tournament appearance was 2015. They've done basically squat besides recruit Dybantsa with a boat load of money. And that doesn't move the needle. You need to build up some equity to build off before you start having a well respected program.BYU will be moving up this list too.
Dan may make that happen soon (if they're willing)...The sad aspect of this list is that UConn and Duke never play. It feels like it’s been ages at this point (2014). 9x total/ever - one rando game in the 70’s, 4 of those games in the tourney. So since that 70s matchup through today UConn has only played Duke 4x in 49 years OOC, less than once a decade. UConn has never played in Cameron Indoor, sadly.
Would be so much better for the game if they had a chance to square up regularly.
Duke being favorites is hilarious.Ventured to Vegas in May (Kenny Chesney at the Sphere-incredible), the top three were Duke +900, Houston +1200 and our guys +1600. Laid it on our guys of course.
They're a magnet for stupid money. Same with the Lakers.Duke being favorites is hilarious.
