Top 10 Programs of all-time

The NCAA Tournament has went from a field of 65 to four. There have been a range of great plays from last second shots to thunder dunks. We here at The Sports Blitz have tried to give you all things March Madness. The topic of greatest programs of all-time has been on my mind, much of it due to the NCAA tournament and some of it due to the lack of success the Arkansas program has had. This topic is very subjective I came up with a formula to make it less subjective and more objective.

The Formula

National Championship +5

Final 4 +4

Sweet 16 +3

All-Time Wins/Winning Percentage (Rankings)

1-5 +5

6-10 +4

11-20+3

21-25 +2

26-35 +1

Conference Championships +4

Tournament Appearances +4

#1 Seeds +3

NBA Players +2

Recent Success (2000-2010)

National Champ +5

Final 4 +4

Sweet 16 +3

Conf Champ +4

I know that you may ask why is a conference championship worth more than a sweet 16? My answer to that is there have been many teams that have not won a conference championship that made the sweet 16. I feel like a conference championship, especially multiple championships, mean more than a sweet 16 birth. Also, I chose All-Americans at first instead of NBA players, but it was hard to find a reputable source for every team that had a list of All-Americans. Although I feel All-Americans were worth more at one time than NBA players. I know that players entering college basketball now look at programs that send players to the NBA. Also, yes if you are looking teams do get double credit for being recently successful in 2000-2010. I think to make this list legitimate you have to account for recent success as well as all-time success. Hopefully this will help you understand how this list was compiled.
