According to the final AP rankings, how do the programs rank all-time, by decade, and by era? Which ones were the best over the 2000s?

Take all the AP final rankings and use our CFN scoring system – the AP national champion gets 25 points, the No. 2 team 24, No. 3 23, and so on down to the bottom.

Oklahoma started the 2000s with a national title, Texas finally got over the hump under Mack Brown in 2005, and the two were in the mix for top five spots year after year. Florida got two national championships under Urban Meyer, USC came up with two under Pete Carroll – including a whopper of a BCS controversy with a split title – but the Sooners and the Longhorns were the consistent stars.

According to the final AP rankings, how do the programs rank all-time, by decade, and by era? Which ones were the best over the 1990s?

Take all the AP final rankings and use our CFN scoring system – the AP final regular season No. 1 gets 25 points, the No. 2 team 24, No. 3 23, and so on down to the bottom.

Kentucky was the best college basketball program of the 1990s and Kansas was brilliant throughout the decade despite not winning a national title.

Duke … UNLV. Those were the two programs who set the tone for 1990s basketball with what they did early on. UNLV defined cool – Michigan and the Fab Five took over, but the 1990 Runnin’ Rebels were the original – and Duke played the villain perfectly. But again, Kentucky and Kansas were consistently fantastic – UNLV fell off the map – and the AP rankings reflected that.

Keep in mind, the AP did its final rankings at the end of the regular season and not after the NCAA Tournament.

According to the final AP rankings, how do the programs rank all-time, by decade, and by era? Which ones were the best over the 1980s?

Take all the AP final rankings and use our CFN scoring system – the AP final No. 1 team gets 25 points, the No. 2 team 24, No. 3 23, and so on down to the bottom.

Because the final AP college basketball rankings come out at the end of the regular season instead of after the NCAA Tournament, there are a few egregious blips here and there – like UCLA not being the program of the 1960s. All of those inconsistencies are holding the 1980’s beer.

Remember those back-to-back DePaul national champs in 1980 and 1981? They finished on top of the final AP polls, but crashed in tournament time.

1885 national champion Villanova wasn’t in the final AP rankings, and neither was the Danny (Manning) and the Miracles Kansas team of 1988 that won it all.

It was the decade when the NCAA Tournament went to a whole other level, and these rankings reflect that.

Take all the AP final rankings and use our CFN scoring system – the AP final No. 1 team gets 25 points, the No. 2 team 24, No. 3 23, and so on down to the bottom.

As acknowledged from the beginning, there are massive inconsistencies and glitches over the years because the final rankings come out at the end of the regular season and before the NCAA Tournament – except for 1974 and 1975.

Overall, though, this is one of the more representative decades of the bunch. UCLA was the dominant program in the 1960s, but Kentucky got the credit overall in the rankings. The Bruins were easily the stars of the 1970s, with some interesting out-of-the-norm programs rocking the overall top 25.

According to the final AP rankings, how do the programs rank all-time, by decade, and by era? Which ones were the best over the 1960s?

Take all the AP final rankings and use our CFN scoring system – the AP final regular season No. 1 gets 25 points, the No. 2 team 24, No. 3 23, and so on down to the bottom.

By a bazillion miles, this is easily the glitchiest decade of the bunch.

Obviously UCLA was the dominant program of the era as it ripped through the NCAA Tournament with five national titles in six years – and it’s No. 2 in this.

Why? The AP only ranked ten teams from 1961 to 1968, and Duke was a part of most of them, and UCLA wasn’t. Also, the final polls came out after the regular seasons, not the NCAA Tournament. By the way, the Blue Devils didn’t win any national titles in the 1960s.

According to the final AP rankings, how do the programs rank all-time, by decade, and by era? Which ones were the best over the 1950s? The AP college basketball poll started at the end of the 1948-1949 season, so we’re lumping it in this decade, too.

Take all the AP final rankings and use our CFN scoring system – the AP final regular season No. 1 gets 25 points, the No. 2 team 24, No. 3 23, and so on down to the bottom.

Kentucky won four NCAA Tournaments, proving to be even better than the final rankings in the AP polls. Even so, it was the best program of the 1950s by a relative mile.

One key note: The AP final rankings came out at the end of the regular seasons, not after the NCAA Tournaments.

According to the final AP rankings, how do the programs rank all-time, by decade, and by era? Which ones were the best over the 2000s?

Take all the AP final rankings and use our CFN scoring system – the AP final regular season No. 1 gets 25 points, the No. 2 team 24, No. 3 23, and so on down to the bottom.

Duke ended up on top of the AP rankings for the decade even though it won one national title. It was a decade of outliers with Syracuse, Michigan State, and Maryland all taking away an NCAA title, but it was Florida that was the star for a two year back-to-back stretch in a short run of brilliance that’s been a tad underappreciated ever since.

As noted throughout all of these rankings, the AP final top 25 came out at the end of the regular season and before the NCAA Tournaments.

Kansas put together an amazing decade without any national championships to show for it. UConn got two, Duke won two of their own, and Villanova was amazing late in the decade with two national titles in three seasons.

Kansas didn’t win any, but because the final AP rankings come after the NCAA Tournament, the No. 1 team of the 2010s have it over all the national champs.
