S students consistently score lower in math and science than students from many other countries. According to a Business Insider report in , the U. Discussions about why the United States' education rankings have fallen by international standards over the past three decades frequently point out that government spending on education has failed to keep up with inflation.

It's also worthwhile to note that while the Best Countries study is certainly respectable, other studies use different methodologies or emphasize different criteria, which often leads to different results.

For example, the Global Citizens for Human Rights' annual study measures ten levels of education from early childhood enrollment rates to adult literacy. While Jim Boeheim's guys have spent the past seven years hovering around the tournament bubble, the Orange did make that surprising Final Four run in , and they were an annual contender in the range.

The lone program that received serious consideration despite zero Final Four appearances, Arizona did have three Elite Eight runs from its seven years as a No. The Wildcats would have made the Big Dance in had there been one, and they likely would've gotten in last season were it not for the self-imposed postseason ban.

Arizona was the only tempting candidate from the Pac, for whatever that's worth. There have been a few other consistently respectable mid-majors Belmont, Saint Mary's, San Diego State and VCU, in particular , but Wichita State is the one with the most legitimate claim to the top Not only did the Shockers have that undefeated regular season in , but they also had a stretch of seven consecutive seasons of finishing at No.

While none of those years ended in the top five and though they only have 10 NCAA tournament wins, they're one of just five programs with at least total wins since Michigan wasn't even worth an honorable mention when I ranked the programs dating back to , as the Wolverines were dealing with and trying to recover from the Fab Five scandal for pretty much the entirety of By year No.

And despite losing Burke and Hardaway, they were even better the following year, earning a No. But what's most impressive is how they bounced back a couple of years after losing that nucleus, finishing in the top 20 on KenPom in each of the past five years while changing their roster and their identity.

In the Burke-led years, it was all offense. When the Wolverines made it back to the national championship five years later, it was with one of the best defenses in the nation. Then they transitioned from Beilein to Juwan Howard and had perhaps their best team yet last season. Nine other programs have been better, but none of them started the s from as low a point as Michigan did. Officially, Louisville went winless from through and has not been to a Final Four since In reality, the Cardinals won it all in , finishing at No.

Put a great big asterisk on it if you want, but just like Barry Bonds belongs in the Baseball Hall of Fame, Louisville needs to be mentioned as one of the top programs in recent history. This team was a consistent contender with Rick Pitino at the helm, and the back-to-back seasons with Russ Smith, Montrezl Harrell, Wayne Blackshear and Luke Hancock in the primary rotation were top-notch.

Aside from the Florida team that won titles in both and , that might have been the most dominant two-year stretch by any program since the turn-of-the-century Duke Blue Devils. Even after the multiple scandals knocked them down a few pegs and resulted in multiple coaching changes, the Cardinals have still been respectable, averaging better than 21 wins over the past six years. However, there's no question that this ranking is deeply rooted in the seasons that allegedly never happened.

And, usually, the Spartans are one of the top candidates to win the whole thing — even though they have not done so since Seven finishes in the KenPom top 10 was a major selling point for Sparty. Only six programs have done that at least half a dozen times since , and only Kansas eight times has done it more often than Michigan State. The Spartans have earned at least a share of four of the past 10 Big Ten regular-season titles and have won four conference tournaments during that time.

Not too shabby, considering they play in a conference where Michigan, Ohio State and Wisconsin were all strong candidates for this top None of those guys won the Wooden Award, but they were all worthy candidates. The Spartans would have been a much stronger candidate for a spot in our top five were it not for by their standards disappointing seasons in , and , in which they went a combined with one NCAA tournament win.

They finished each of those seasons in 40th or worse on KenPom but still had impressive ratings overall. Ohio State changed defensive coordinators to make sure two regular-season losses don't show up against next fall. There doesn't seem to be a shut-off switch for the SEC's annual money-printer, not with Nick Saban signed through and the national championship continuing to go through Tuscaloosa every year.

Alabama won the national title during the abbreviated campaign and has a chance to win another this season after knocking off Georgia for the league title earlier this month. Sustained success is one of the toughest challenges in sports and somehow, the Crimson Tide have managed to be the "it" program for more than a decade without a hiccup. If Michigan wins the national championship this season, there's a chance the Wolverines could be in the No.

Jim Harbaugh and the Wolverines captured the program's first Big Ten title in more than a decade, have sold-out the Big House every home game during an era in which ranked teams are finding it increasingly more difficult to fill venues weekly and now have seen their star his supernova status with a playoff trip. No program nationally has done more for its bottom line than the Wolverines in It hasn't happened yet, but the Aggies are in a better spot as an annual contender and have made a divot in SEC recruiting.

Football is everything in Texas, evidenced by the two programs in this list both being from the Lonestar State.

The Longhorns exhausted resources and put everything they had into Steve Sarkisian and a new coaching regime this season and it still resulted in a six-game losing skid at one point, the longest drought for Texas since the s. It got worse before it got better and forward process must be shown in for the revenue giant in Austin. Photo: Getty Photo: Getty T Photo: Michael Chang, Getty T Oklahoma Sooners. Ohio State Buckeyes.
