They realize a century is 100 years, right? Because there appears to be a ton of recency bias in here. I mean St. John's, example, has easily done more in the past 100 years than half the schools on this list.

I believe the term "century" here refers to the 21st century (aka 2000-2022) and not the last calendar century (1923-2022).

Any way you cut it, having 4 conference members on a list such as this (36% of conference membership) is pretty solid.

The ACC and B1G had 5 apiece make the list. We were up next with our 4.

I don’t know how someone can leave Baylor off a list like that.

Need a subscription for the details... If this is just raw Kenpom average then it's not surprising that UConn is where it is. There were some shaky years at the back end of the AAC, and a couple of those runs to a NCin which they were not a season-long dominant team. Without seeing it myself, I would guess the programs that year-in-year out are around the Top 20 are the ones who scored well on this. My guess at Top 10:
1. Duke
2. UK
3. UNC
4. Kansas
5. MSU
6. Ohio St.
7. Arizona
8. Nova
9. Gonzaga
10. Florida / UCLA / Oklahoma / Louisville / Cuse (tie) :D
