The Top 6 in the polls

[Fjoinkay]

is like a Who's Who of the top college basketball programs since the the UCLA era. The only school missing is Indiana. Even with the leveling that parity has brought to the game the top programs, more or less, continue to shine.

It's all about the coaches.

Connecticut is conspicuously absent as well. Like 'em or not they have carved out a chunk of recognition for themselves over the past decade.

UConn for sure . . . A few other teams with resumes equivalent to or even surpassing Syracuse would be Arizona, with an unbelievable string of 25+ win seasons, Pac 10 titles and about 4 Final Fours to go with their title; Louisville has 4 or 5 Final Fours and 2 titles in the post Wooden era; Florida has similar numbers (although most of Louisville's success was early and most of Florida's has been more recent)

UConn and Louisville for sure. Arizona under Olsen yes. I'm not so sure about Florida even though they obviously had a nice run.
