Well, I see that they are actually on most people's lists, why? I would think they would be the poster child for why programs like Florida and Ohio State shouldn't be on the list. No real success before or after Sutton.
OSU and UF have some of the most lucrative athletic departments in the country. A little different than Ok St.
Well, Oklahoma State does have Pickens, but that's why I put OSU on my list and didn't put Oklahoma State on it (meant to put Florida towards the bottom but forgot).

Probably the list closest to the one I'd have, save the St. John's pick.Good question. Found difficulty placing Florida, Wisconsin, Maryland and UCONN. After the first 6 or 7, it's not really that clear. Any of the "honorable mention" schools are programs that are top-25 caliber jobs but aren't there consistently. Some of those schools in the 20-25 range could certainly be lower, but I think they have a bit higher ceiling due to facilities and/or recruiting grounds with a top coach. History not quite as a big of factor in the list below.
