Using ESPN System For Ranking Programs; Top NCAAT Programs 2016-21 (Don't Shoot Messenger)

[cats#1again]

Several years back, ESPN ranked the all time best programs using the following points being awarded for various season accomplishments. Hard to believe, but it appeared very fair. They awarded points for the entire season such as W/L pct, conference titles, etc. This is just a look at NCAAT success based on the following:

5 points for Sweet 16 loss
10 points for Elite 8 loss
15 points for Final 4 loss
20 points for Title game loss
25 points for NCAA Title

No system is perfect. My biggest question mark is Gonzaga over Villanova, but have at it.

Last year uk would have gotten another elite 8 atleast possibly a final 4.
We have been no worse than a top 5/6 program over the past 6 seasons

From 2010-2021
Uk has 110
Do the math and see who is above us!!!

Duke has 90. I'd say they are closest

Gonzaga 75
Villanova still at 55( pitiful)

You are wrong. How is that? But that is nothing new because you are wrong 90% of the time.

I’m not wrong. Look at 2015 and 2017. We were ****** both times. Although, had Cal not taken the air out of the ball the last 6 or 7 minutes, we win regardless in 2015. There’s more examples that I don’t care to really explain right now.

Only way I’m wrong is if you think we get a fair whistle in NCAA tournament games. That and we get a fair shake with the selection committee. We all know that’s not the case. One would have to be blind or ignorant to not notice that.

They hate Calipari. They’ve always hated him. This isn’t anything new. This **** has been going on for decades.

So, now tell me how I’m wrong. I’m intrigued to hear your view on this. I’ll wait....

I’m wrong 90% or the time. Bahahahaha I’ve forgot more about basketball than you’ll ever know.

wishful thinking

Villanova is a joke.
3 seasons out of the past 11 in which they made it to sweet 16.
They had 2 really good teams . Not a top 7 program

Have someone explain to you the years involved.

 

[cats#1again]

wishful thinking

Really? Cause 80%of time cal has made tourney at uk we made elite 8.
Sounds pretty standard to me

 

[cats#1again]

The years involved? I'm well aware of what you are trying to do. You picked the starting with 2016 because uk gets zero points and go to 2021 because uk gets zero points. Pretty obvious you want uk to look horrendous on your list. We can start a list anywhere. With any season. Might as well go ahead and start it with 2010 the begining of cal being coach because that's who you're trying to make look bad. It won't fit your agenda though.
Sure this year was awful nobody will argue that.its called an anomaly. However, take this year off and start your list with the last 6 seasons. U won't because I know what will happen

Have someone explain to you the years involved.

I guess you would be ok with your team not making it past the 2nd rd 8 out of 11 seasons? Lol not a chance. No matter if they did win 2 titles in those 11. I know u limited it to 6 seasons but jay wright is a joke, was a joke, and always will be.

8-20. Karma - Players lying about their birthdays stealing cheesecakes the week of the regionals.

Not sure I understand ?

Wrong. How many years has Cal been here? Let’s do the math. That would be 12 years. Now let’s do some more math. What’s half of 12? That would be 6. So, he is comparing the first half of his UK tenure with the second half of his UK tenure. First half equals 6 years. The back end equals 6 years.

There’s no agenda involved here. It’s a complete comparison with simple math. This isn’t that difficult. It really isn’t.
