Message: [QUOTE="Wally East, post: 2167842, member: 3065"] What do you mean by top 8 though? 30 years ago, 1987, UConn wasn't in the top 8. Do you mean top 8 annually? Because that changes. Teams rise, teams fall. Where is Purdue now? Where was South Carolina 10 years ago? Where is Texas A&M now? Where were they 20 years ago? La Tech? Even Tennessee, they're not top 8 NOW. The top 8 in the last AP poll: UConn, South Carolina, Notre Dame, Baylor, Maryland, Stanford, Mississippi State, and Oregon State. Compare that to 5 years ago: Baylor, Stanford, UConn, ND, Maryland, Duke, Delaware, Miami 10 years ago: Duke, UConn, North Carolina, Tennessee, Ohio State, Stanford, Maryland, Arizona State 14 years ago (ESPN's archive only goes back to 02-03 and I don't feel like digging more than that): UConn, Duke, LSU, Tennessee, Texas, La Tech, Kansas State, Texas Tech. But, here's the list of schools that have won titles in the last 30 years: UConn, Tennessee, Stanford, Purdue, Notre Dame, Maryland, Baylor, Texas Tech, Texas, Texas A&M, South Carolina, La Tech, North Carolina. Anyway, my point: [B]what do you mean by "top 8"? [/B] [/QUOTE]
