Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 4546013, member: 199"] Personally I wouldn't rank runner-up any differently than FF and I wouldn't rank first round loser any higher than second round loser. Nice chart. I would tend to give the same points for FF and runner-up. So much depends on match-ups and often the team that loses in the semis to the eventual winner is likely the second best team at the FF. Do 10 for the winner, 7 for the 3 other FF, 4 for elite 8, 2 for S16, and 1 being in the tournament the first weekend. As for conference championships/regular season championships - for teams (outside the power 6 conferences) that is baked into tournament appearances. And back when the tournament was smaller was the whole field. I think the OP list isn't bad when you consider the breadth of AIAW and NCAA And agree that teams like Immaculta/Delta State while both incredible stories and pioneers of the game haven't been relevant in a very long time. You can quibble about a few places in the order and I am curious as others at how JMU and to some degree WKU made the list but assume it gets into their true pioneer status 100 years ago and their continued appearances in the NCAAs. WKU at least had 3 NCAA FF appearances. [/QUOTE]
