So UK is rated #1? Were they ranking teams in order of number of probations?

I know that book will be at the top of my Christmas list. I have the football version and I read the entire thing, thinking the whole time, “When do they do this for basketball, too?”

I remember IU surgically dissecting his famous press. I never could figure out why Davis kept using it because Knight just destroyed his press. Otherwise I agree that Davis was a good coach. Maybe stubborn, but good.

Off topic but I saw USA today's college basketball preview today. They picked Purdue getting beat in the Final Four to Michigan State and picked IU 10th in the big 10.

Iowa at differnt times was ranked number 1 when BJ Armstrong was there. They made an elite 8 run in '87 (losing to UNLV). They entered 1989 as the #1 team in the land. Dr. Tom was a great coach.

You're correct. I updated my listing accordingly. I had UNC and Kansas flip-flopped.

I assume the logos on the image go in order of the ranking? So is Kansas ahead of UNC? Just a minor clarification requested, because I want to legitimize the ACC-Big Ten challenge using all-time greatness, and not the debacle of the past 10+ years.

They were always really good in the 60's. Not so good recently, but ever see the movie Glory Road. Texas Western plays them in the season and it said they were ranked 2nd or 3rd so who knows.
