According to the final AP rankings, how do the programs rank all-time, by decade, and by era? Which ones were the best over the 2010s?
Take all the AP final rankings and use our CFN scoring system – the AP national champion gets 25 points, the No. 2 team 24, No. 3 23, and so on down to the bottom.
Kansas put together an amazing decade without any national championships to show for it. UConn got two, Duke won two of their own, and Villanova was amazing late in the decade with two national titles in three seasons.
Kansas didn’t win any, but because the final AP rankings come after the NCAA Tournament, the No. 1 team of the 2010s have it over all the national champs.
