I'll throw in something else here...I saw somewhere that someone had posted a Top 25 for the past decade.  I can't find where it is now, but just for discussion's sake, since the Big 10 is off for a couple days, I will post my computer ranking version of the Top 25 of the past decade.  It just takes games played into account (no "extra points" for championships won).  Indiana came in at #33.

1	Kansas
2	Gonzaga
3	Duke
4	Villanova
5	Kentucky
6	Virginia
7	North Carolina
8	Arizona

Rematch of the SoCon Finals last year where Furman lost on a heartbreaking buzzer beater.    Furman/Chattanooga at 7.

Chris Beard evidently met with the AD at Ole Miss today. Make no mistake, the SEC will rehab anybody.

I’m assuming you are using rehab in the context of “they will do a better job of covering it up”

Imagine Lane Kiffin being employed by your school and him not being even close to the most likely coach to take a gigantic dump on your athletic department. 

I say this as a huge Lane fan, by the way.

Didn’t think about that. That AD went to Tom Jurich school of character is for losers.

Freshman.  Kid can play.   Haven’t seen him enough but can’t see how Wisky didn’t lock him down.   Seems like he would be right up their alley
