Interesting. Got to like that.

If nothing else you could use that as a recruiting tool. X was 47th, OSU, Louisville, and Indiana were in front of UC in that order.

That is about where they should be, I have seen other rankings that have them at 11 due to multiple national titles, but since those were so long ago, 14 is fair.

I thought I was about right too.

I would easily place UC above Michigan and it wouldn't even be close.

That's the one that stood out to me too. Kinda scratched my head there.

Really there only good years were with the Fab 5 and (1) that was a while ago and (2) didn't count since they paid their players. They haven't been any good since.

They did win a National title with Glen Rice in 1989. I don't think they should be ahead of UC but I am not going to lose any sleep over it.

Yea I know but one championship and mediocrity the rest of the time shouldn't get them to #13. But don't worry, I wasn't losing sleep, anyone can put these lists together, I was just arguing for conversation purposes. The rest of the rankings looked pretty good to me.

That's good. I was concerned for your well-being. They say sleep is important.
