Top 25 programs of all time (opinion)

College Basketball - Lines.com

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.
 
Another way to look at a top 25 in basketball.......most wins against AP top 25 opponents in the last decade.

1. Kansas - 80
2. Michigan State - 60
3T. Duke - 59
3T. Baylor - 59
5. Villanova - 55
6. North Carolina - 51
7T. Michigan - 48
7T. Wisconsin - 48
7T. Iowa State - 48
10T. Virgnia - 46
10T. Oklahoma - 46
12. Kentucky - 43
13. Indiana - 42
14T. Purdue - 40
14T. Texas - 40
16T. Iowa - 38
16T. Ohio State - 38
16T. West Virginia - 38
19T. Texas Tech - 36
19T. Kansas State - 36
19T. Oklahoma State - 36
22. Oregon - 35
23T. Creighton - 34
23T. Louisville - 34
25. Syracuse - 33

Notables missing from this list: UCLA, UConn
9 out of the 10 Big 12 schools made the list of the top 19 (all but TCU)
7 of the 14 B1G schools made the top 16

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

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.

If realignment decisions were made based on academic rankings, not AAU research….

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.
