Interesting that the B1G adds the top program of all time (UCLA) even though basketball is not the reason UCLA was added.

Syracuse number six?

This list is like someone took D1 teams names put them on piece of paper, through them into a sack and then drew out 25 randomly.

There are 0 AAC teams on the list. For obvious reasons.

Yes AAC teams don't get to play against top 25 teams very often.

 

[The Viking]

This is one of those lists that are so bad that you shouldn’t post them.

Let’s see the number of losses too. Lol. It’s a stupid and very misleading list, any idiot can see that all these teams have had by far, the most opportunities to play more top 25 teams than anyone else.

You realize that the academic ranking of P5 schools only, right?

According to the horrible US News as well.

According to the horrible US News as well.

But if you actually took that methodology, such as it is, and applied it to UConn, we would fall 31/32 on the list.

If realignment decisions were made based on overall athletic department budget sizes…..

This reads as though it was written by an 85 year old sportswriter, coming out of an early retirement for one last payday. Temple? Cincinnati? Marquette? These are not our peers.

It reads like it was written by someone that went to Syracuse.
