Ok, if you haven't seen it, ESPN is rolling out their 50 in 50 rankings. The 50 best teams over the last fifty years. They break down their ranks by decade, list the top 5 players of all time etc. Here is their point system. Not bad, gives points for each step of tourney, all Americans etc. Only thing I have a problem with is awarding 2 points for players taken in the first 10 of the NBA draft. Why? This is college, not the draft.
This is pretty cool, so here is the list, will update as they do - thoughts? Personally I am shocked Weber is so high, BC & St. John's are so low. will be interesting to see where MU ends up.
