No I listed ‘85 Tennessee at the bottom due to their relative lack of quality wins. Only solid wins on the season were against Final AP #9 Miami and #13 Alabama.

The national title included an actual trophy, presented by the AP. Probation is completely irrelevant.

Auburn’s program started the same year.
Those West Coast teams were basically able to dominate the sport with very little competition from any other geographic region up through the 1990s
From 1982-1999, UCLA made the WCWS 15 out of 18 seasons… Arizona and Fresno State each 12 times out of 18....

25 points for a season ending with a National Title
12 points for a season ending with a National Runner-Up
8 points for a season ending with a WCWS appearance
3 points for a season ending in a Super Regional (2005-present only)...

3. Alabama (about 4 points on average behind Texas)
4-6. Ole Miss, LSU, Texas A&M (all within 0-1 points of each other,...
