1. this Dayton flyer guy is cherry picking data to suggest Dayton is a better program. Dayton is clearly a distant four.
2. Xavier is not the best program in Ohio. I'm sorry to say but you can't gloss over the lack of final fours/national championships. Outside of guessing that Xavier was in pretty much every sweet sixteen since 2000 I couldn't tell you another person. Whereas most avid CBB fans will be able to tell you about the Final Four teams years after its past.
3. Marquette is not the best program in WI. I hate to say it but it's true. Since WI became a respectable program in the 90s here's how it's gone
Championship game: UW 1 MU 0
Final Four: UW 3 MU 1
Elite 8: UW 4 MU 2
Sweet 16: UW 10 MU 5
NCAA appearances: UW 22 MU 16
In my opinion if this guy is going to qualify all of OSU and Cinci's history being old against Xavier then you would have to do the same with our 1967-1983 stretch.

Making a Final Four is absolutely huuuuuuge compared to making an Elite-8. It completely puts your program on another level. Like, you'll live in a different universe. Especially if you have more than one. National Championships are an even greater jump obviously.
