Bottomline is that is a worthless statistic. It has zero bearing on where your team ranks. Other than the fact that wins get a team into the postseason, those wins mean nothing if they fail to get you into the postseason.
... as it was perfectly described above.
Don't even try to pretend that wins means anything. Syracuse is playing in the Final Four. Akron and Valpo are watching it at home. Those wins of Akron and Valpo don't count 50% into the equation or even 10% for that matter. They are absolutely worthless unless they helped them get into the tournament.
Got it. So Florida is a better football program historically than Michigan. Also, UConn has a better basketball program historically than Kansas, and Florida basketball is on par with Michigan State.
Got it.

These stupid bastards need to brag about their accomplishments to teams they actually beat.

that's kind of a leap from what he's trying to say IMO. no one metric should be used, alone, to determine an all-time list. although, some metrics should have more weight than others, like postseason success

Nope. Not at all. Not sure why you would try to put words in my mount about something when I've already posted by opinions about where all these programs rank within this very post.
Using a system ENTIRELY weighted on NCAA Tournament success, this is where those programs rnak all-time:
Kansas ranks #5
Michigan State ranks #8
UConn ranks #9
Florida ranks #26
Very few fans of basketball would disagree with those observations. But of course any true historian of basketball would know that its all about the NCAA tournament when it comes to college basketball.
UNLV ranks #4 in all-time basketball winning percentage.
Temple ranks #6 in all-time basketball total wins.
My rankings using only NCAA Tournament success ranks UNLV #30 all-time and Temple #32 all-time. Why because wins and winning percentage mean nothing if it hasn't translated in tournament success.
