Chronicling the top 50 programs of the last 50 years.....will our beloved Hawkeyes make the cut?

 

[atxhawk]

It should.

 

[NationwideHawk]

I would think so also given who have been in the first 14 schools.....Clones too I'd imagine

Probably in the 20s, if not for the last 12 years I would say top 15 no question. Unless there is something I'm missing something wisconsin should be a few spots lower then us.

The methodology they use will reward Iowa for itss consistency pre-Lickliter. But I'm kind of scratching my head at a system that puts NC State and their two national titles behind schools that have never made the Final Four (e.g. St. Joseph's).

I'm more interested in the next 10 than the last 50.

We will certainly make it over ISU and UNI and Drake. As far as other states are concerned, we have the FIghting Red Hens of Delaware, Rhode Istand and the other New England States other than UConn, and don't forget the states bordering the Northern perimeter of America. I speak of Idaho, Wyoming and North Dakota, and South Dakota and Wyoming. We might as well throw New Mexico in for good measure.....

Never forget the ESpN/Sagarin ratings which, of course, I consider the Bible.....

Well it looks like if we make it we will be a top 10 program as that is the only thing they have not shown yet. I guess with all those NCAA under Mr. Davis and the elite eight, final four runs helped us rack up some points.

Holy crap Hawks gonna be top 10??

 

[fsanford]

Kansas, Duke, Syracuse, UCLA, Kentucky, North Carolina, Indiana, Arizona, Louisville, UCONN. are the last 10.

So...cheaters are eligible too.

We were #10 just 3 years ago. I really hate our last 2 coaches.

This was from 2009? The last two coaches really brought the program to new lows. Team ball will change that quickly.

Reading through the system used to determine the rankings, it is clear that our dearth of conference championships kept us out of the top 50. Just the opposite is a team like Murray state that has won its' conference crown like every year for 25 years yet has never made it past the second round of the NCAA tourney. It seems a little odd to reward a team for dominating such a weak conference.

I realized after I posted it that there was date given. He's the google search

There is also an article Taking issue with Sagarin's all-time college basketball rankings - ESPN

It's by Pat Forde. I'll let you guess what he thinks.
