I don't know if anyone else has been reading EPSN's countdown of all the college basketball programs.
The countdown is based on each team's prestige factor.
The Gators were ranked 21st by the WWL. Here's their write-up:
21. FLORIDA GATORS, SEC
Positives: 2 national titles (2006, '07); 4 Final Fours; 14 NCAA berths; 14 20-win seasons; 5 NBA top-10 picks
Negatives: 5 losing seasons; 3 SEC tourney titles; loss to 12th-seeded Creighton (in 2OT) in 2002, loss to 12th-seeded Manhattan in 2004
Total points: 178
Did you know? Despite winning back-to-back titles in 2006 and 2007, the Gators still don't make our Top 20. Why? From the 1984-85 season until 1997-98, Florida had more losing seasons (five) than 20-win ones (four). Having Kentucky in your conference definitely takes away from your chances at conference glory, too. Failing to advance beyond the first weekend of the NCAA tourney under Billy Donovan from 2001 to 2005 also hurt the Gators.
