in all time wins having moved up one notch this year. It's going to be awhile before we crack the top ten, but top 15 is not too far away.

There are some surprising teams in the top 10.

Somebody help me out here. I can't remember which year it was that Oregon State and Washington State played those extra hundred games against each other.
 
It is a weird list with some unexpected teams ahead of us, but I would have never guessed we would be so high on the list.

We need to get some 30 win seasons from Barnes so we can really make up some ground.
 
Question: There are only 3 teams on the top 50 that have played for 109 years: Kansas, Purdue & Illinios St; Mich St started playing 1 yr later. Did they just play each other for the first season or two? Maybe there were some teams below the top 50 that have played for as long?
 
We'll pass Princeton and possibly Washington this year. Maybe a decade or two to crack the top 10 if the program continues to win at its current pace.
 
Like Stuck at Work, I predicted the top 20 with the exception that I had Oregon St. at #14 and Illinois at #13.

I certainly understand the Ivy league has been around a while, but I would not have thought to put Penn in there. Princeton, maybe, but not Penn.

Looks like I need to start working on my focusness on Ivy League histrionics.

AS I got near the bottom and noticed TOsu I started wondering which elite football program / Univerisity was also highly ranked in basketball . Texas and Notre Dame look to be the top 2
if we add in baseball the list gets even smaller I would guess
 
Temple, St. Johns and Penn surprised me in the top 10.

As of 2/26/08, all-time wins

12. 1610 - Utah

In 2004 we were #22. Louisville is nipping on our heels.
