Where are they wrong? I would at least jump us ahead of IU and MSU. Probably more.

definitely MSU, no doubt. After IU, UConn, and then Nova. Maybe even put UConn and Nova at 6 and 7, respectively, and then IU. IU has more history, but they have not been to a Final Four since 2002, and really not even close to one since then.

No way MSU is above UConn and Nova. UConn and Nova have more championships and both schools having pristine title years from beginning to end and earning a high seed in NCAA tournament (1999, 2004, 2016, 2018). You can even make a case for UConn's 2011 season with the unprecedented 5 games in 5 nights in the BE tourney and then winning 6 straight in the NCAAT (earned #3 seed). Also, UConn and Nova have produced more higher impact NBA players outside of the great Magic Johnson.

MSU above us is absolute comedy. Also, I highly question the validity of this given how much they value total program wins. Perfect example is Temple being above Florida when they've won one "natty" pre WWII, have never made the championship game in the NCAA Tournament era, and have only 2 Final Four appearances way back in the 50s.
 
Where they went wrong was the stupid columns first, left-right 2nd.
 
You have to remember before Calhoun took over in the 1980s UConn was basically on par with UMass. We would be ranked much higher if only considering 1990+

MSU is a joke.

it’s getting time for UCLA to be removed from this list. Living 50+ years in the past.

Also, Duke fans gotta be livid lol.

Remove UCLA? It is called “best programs of all time,” not “best programs of recent years.”

The criteria seems to be all time so UCLA needs to be given credit for their 11 titles and dominance during that period, I know people say that they had it easier always playing teams from the West in the early rounds of the tournament instead of the better teams from the East but UCLA did win ten titles in 12 years.

If the criteria were since 2000 then UCLA would not be in the ratings.

Indiana has 5 NCAA championships.

They've been to 1 Elite 8 in 30 years (reached the NCAA final). That's the same amount as St. Peter's.

Not to mention I think only 1 of their titles came with the expanded 64+ team field.

What do you think college hoops dates back to the 1700s? The last 30 years is a huge chunk of history to have had 1 deep tournament run.
Expand ...
The 30 years before that is also a huge chunk of change, how did UConn do in comparison to Indiana during that stretch?

And IU really does not produce good NBA players outside of Isiah Thomas. As ConnHuskBask stated their only title with the expanded 64 teams is in 1987. They went to the Final Four in 1992 and reached the Elite Eight in 1993, and made the final in 2002. I guess you could throw in 2012, as they were the only team to beat that great Kentucky 2012 with Anthony Davis in the regular season, but then they got beaten handily in the Sweet 16 because they got flummoxed by the Syracuse 2-3 zone.

What IU has is that they are one of the original blue bloods and are embedded in the history of college basketball going back to the days when the sport started being played on the college level.
 
Same as others, move UConn up one spot ahead of MSU. Can't complain about the 6 who are ahead of us. I'd consider swapping Louisville and Villanova too. Like @nelsonmuntz I have no idea why K-State is there. Four final 4s and one NC runner up. UNLV is more deserving, as is Wisconsin.
 
6 of those programs were in the Big East at the same time. Just a damn shame.
