What’s even more significant is if you consider the number of years these programs have played basketball. Only WKU and IU have played ball for 89 years, the rest of the top 20 have played more years. Years played off to the right side.

I think UF will have to beat Kentucky, and win at least one game in the SEC Tournament to get in.

I don’t disagree with your rankings (although I think MSU should be ahead of Memphis and their cream puff schedule), but I would like to know how you formulate them. Is there any RPI-type figuring, or is it just a gut check?

BEAT DOOK!

Thanks, for (all :) the pings.
I really hate "sauced assessments".

Correct, Kansas has won 52 conference titles. Most in the country
