As the programs rams continue to rise, it’s important to remember the methodology of what these rankings are based on. Tournament appearances, tournament success(points for how many games won: 64,32,16,8,4,2,1), regular season titles, conference tournament titles, and overall win%. This was then placed in a weighted formula ((0.5+tournament appearances+ tournament success+ reg season titles(5)+conference tournament titles(3))*overall W%). Rankings were then based on final score.
