Northern Iowa, Kansas State, Cornell, Baylor, and St. Mary's are all new faces.
Who are the best programs in the last ten years? What I did to answer this question was simple. I gave a point for each team that made the sweet 16. 4 points for making the final 4. 5 points for the runner up and 10 for the champion. Including all the teams that make the tournament would take too long and really wouldn't change the overall outcome. The same goes for the field of 32. What people really remember is who made the final four. And, who made the sweet 16. Unless you are a fan of a school, your'e not likely to remember that they made the elite 8 three years ago. (This list includes this year's field of 16. So, teams may move up this list in the next couple of weeks.)
