OK-- will have the ratings up tomorrow. SUNY-New Paltz is playing for 1st in the rankings in tonight's championship game.

I would think the undefeated season and National Championship would be enough.

except for us UNC fans...

The above list is the current top 25 dynasties in Wooden, D-III according to my formula, which was adapted from Alblack's formula that is used in at least a couple of worlds. This list only considers results from the last 5 seasons, and you must have played in the postseason 4 of the last 5 years to qualify (which is why two of this year's final four teams are not in). These are the only teams I found that qualify-- let me know if I missed someone.

I am working on a longer-history set-up that will go back 10 seasons, and should change the order of this list considerably.

Good job!

thanks for doing this. My squad, Lycoming, has got some serious reloading to do so hopefully we can stay within the top 20.

Chicago has a chance to get in next year's rankings. After coming on board in season 1 w/ 11 open scholarships, then falling just short in my CT finals in season 2, I've made the NT each of the last 3 seasons. It will be a challenge to make the NT next year, but I never thought I'd make it this year after losing my initial 6 man recruiting cl***.

The Upstate conference has a couple of developing dynasties. A lot of rebuilding was done this year as many of us came in at the same time into near complete rebuilds. However we held the top conference rpi slot in the previous 2 seasons for whatever its worth. We should be back in the top 10-15 next season, then challenging for the top spot the following years.

Are any of these dynasties interested in setting up a home & home w/ Chicago for the next 2 seasons, and perhaps beyond? I'll probably take a small step back this year, but hope to make the PI. Should be NT bound each of the next 2 seasons.

My hope is that eventually we can get a non-con tourney going like the Marietta challenge in Naismith-- the top teams play each other on a regular basis, and it has certainly not hurt them. I think they have even expanded it into a two-tiered system this season... but I am way too lazy to set it up.

wronoj, I just sent back your site mail. Thanks, hit me up w/ the offer, I'll start either your place, or at Chicago whichever works out best for you.

I'd be interested in some sort of challenge. There are a couple of developing dynasties in the upstate that I'm sure would be interested as well.

Will have this updated soon-- hopefully tomorrow, after the NT game. There are a lot of changes, and some surprising teams in danger of falling out next season...
