That list is a joke.
UConn has won 6 nattys in slightly more than 25 years. They are on the blue bloods list.
And Cal is a "Solid" program?
17-18 = 8-24
18-19 = 8-23
19-20 = 14-18
20-21 = 9-20
21-22 = 12-20
22-23 = 3-29
23-24 = 13-19
24-25 = 14-19
FINALLY - 25-26: 21-10
Agree on UConn. They still don't quite have the same cache with the older crowd, but titles over all to me and they've definitely got those.
Cal is pretty solid historically, probably somewhere around the top 40. They never really sustained elite success for long stretches, but for an all-time list I think they're tiered about right.
Just off the top of my head, Notre Dame might be a tier too high, and BU (value titles a lot) is a tier too low. I know we're low on them right now but BU's overall stats are actually solid. Another title (2022) and I would leapfrog them all the way to good. 4 final fours and 2 titles would put them over several of those "good" programs.
LSU should probably be moved down a tier. WVU and Memphis are borderline. Purdue is probably right bc of great consistency. OU, Illinois, and Houston all feel really similar historically and seem like they're in the right tier. The lack of titles hurts them, but I don't really see an issue with where they're placed.
Texas is maybe borderline, but they've had great consistency over timestrong win %, high win totals, and plenty of NCAA appearances so they're probably about right there too.
