In basketball it isn’t really that different. Does Wake Forest play for a national championship? Does Vanderbilt? How about Texas A&M and California? De Paul? Providence? Iowa? The honest answer is no. Most of those Places go in hoping for a bid but with zero thought of going all the way. There are a handful of elite programs in both sports that actually have a chance on a regular basis. From 1990-2014 we were part of that group. Now not so much. At one time Indiana was one. Now they aren’t. If you gave me Kentucky, UNC, Duke, and Kansas against the field any given year, I like my chances in football if you gave me Alabama, Clemson, LSU and Ohio State I like them better.
