RANKINGS AND RECORDS

The ESPN/Sagarin All-Time Rankings We know what you’re thinking: How in the world did UCLA not come out on top? Well, as dominant as the Bruins were under John Wooden, they didn’t even rank as a top-40 program in the 1940s. Meanwhile, Kentucky hasn’t finished lower than 10th in any decade. We’re guessing you’re nearly as shocked by Northwestern’s No. 77 ranking—pretty remarkable for a team that’s never made the NCAA Tournament. But with eight Big Ten programs in the Top 20, the Wildcats have faced some of college basketball’s toughest conference slates for more than seven decades. Just goes to show how much strength of schedule matters. ABOUT THE RANKINGS: Only active Division I programs are listed in the all-time ranking. CHESS (named for the system of rating chess players) considers only a school’s wins and losses. PREDICTOR considers only its scoring margin. RATING is a combination of the two. YRS indicates the number of seasons in which the program qualified for ranking, beginning in 1937-38 (the maximum number is 72). Schools that played fewer than five games against other qualified schools during a season did not qualify for that season, nor did schools that did not field teams or were on NCAA probation. A small penalty was assessed to a team’s rating for every season in which it failed to qualify.
