To rate the programs, we will rely on two main categories: a school's final regular-season AP ranking each season and its success in the NCAA Tournament. In other words, a team that was ranked in the top 10 five times, but lost in the first round each year may rank lower than a team with only two top-10 rankings but got to the Final Four twice in that span. By the same token, a team that got to the NCAA finals once in that period, but was never ranked higher than 12th might rank lower than a team with several top-10 finishes but never got to the Final Four. As you will see, balancing the two criteria will be a challenge in many cases.
The number of All-Americans from a given college and the school's success within a conference could come into play as well, but those will carry less weight. My rankings, my rules.
