There was a sports site this season that was posting the teams that met 6 or 7 different metrics to be national champs And SU was one of the teams that continually met all of the requirements. Where was this? I'm curious to see if they still do (as well whether or not Michigan did at any point).

Thanks in advance.

Mini-Champ Check: Then there were five…
Posted on March 12, 2013 by ptiernan
I’ve been pre-occupied getting the Pulse Check out, so I’m going to do a super-abbreviated evaluation of potential champs based on our traditional eight stats and KenPom metrics. First, the standard champ check. You know the drill—the last dozen champions have owned these eight stats:
  • A one, two or three seed (the AP Top 20 make the grade)
  • Member of a Power conference: ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-10 or SEC (CF in the list below)
  • Either went to the previous year’s dance or have an All-American (*/12)
  • Led by a coach with more than five tourney trips and at least one Elite Eight run (CO)
  • Averaging more than 73 points per game (PF>73)
  • Allowing fewer than 73 points per game (PA<73)
  • An average scoring margin of at least seven points per game. (SM>=7)
  • A schedule among the 75 strongest in the country (S<75)
Only five teams make the grade this week: Duke, Indiana, Louisville, Michigan and Kansas. Syracuse dropped off the list when their seasonal scoring average fell below 73 points a game.
