This is the kind of thing where I would love to see some metrics behind the decision-making. I'm not saying it would remove subjectivity and flaws, but it would provide for more meaningful reflection on the topic, a point of departure for differences in opinion, rather than simply basing it on opinion first and then backing the opinion with reasons. There is the danger of inconsistency.
For example, any criteria that weighted all years equally would still put Tennessee on top. Yet, I don't think even a Tennessee fan has a problem that in this point in time UConn has the top spot. On the other hand if we weigh "what have you done for me lately" too heavily that would move Tennessee down from second and I don't think anyone thinks that's justified either. The long term should count for something.
Ironically no matter how you weight past v. present, I don't see how Stanford does not come in third with consistent metrics, unless attendance dominates the "criteria" way more than it should.
Also, the same "criteria" that would keep Tennessee up in second place, and I personally agree with that ranking, would probably put North Carolina ahead of Maryland if consistent application of metrics are used. Once again, it's tough to evaluate the relative weights of the "criteria" or "reasons" when they are applied in post hoc fashion to justify an opinion.
And Ira, I forgive you!
