There are a ton of inconsistencies in that list. There are so many variables (even objective ones) in ranking programs historically probably no matter what criteria you use it will produce some outlier results, but this list seems to have some result that could not be produced if just using objective criteria. Probably some subjective decisions made.

The Gonzaga ranking is particularly strange as a Gator because their "coming out party" was during a run where one of the big games was buzzer beater win in the 1999 S16... against UF

The criteria would be interesting to see, something just seems very off. Too many outliers for this to make sense.
