Looks like 20+ in Phelan but high single digits in Knight, Tark, and Wooden.

Phelan D1 is pretty damn solid. Thought there were 8-10 teams that had a legit shot to win the title this season.

My guess is the more populated a world the fewer great teams there will be since the talent will be more evenly distributed.  In Tark the 2 teams that played for the national title had a combined 7 players rated over 800. Although one of the team's that lost in the Final 4 had 10 players over 800.

I actually had 11 players over 800 but who is counting!

Honestly any year there are about 20 teams that could win the NT title i feel.

I couldn't believe it when Rutgers lost to UConn.  I mean, I know OR has a history of doing such things.  But wow.  Your team was stacked; everybody on the team was good and your Big 3 were all studs.  All 3 were better than anybody on ORs team.

If the definition of REALLY GOOD is 5 plus 800+ rated players, in Rupp, there are only 14 who make the cut: UNC, Oklahoma, Colorado, Pitt, St.Johns, Syracuse, Illinois, Washington st. ,Stanford, UCLA, Florida, LSU, Mississippi st. and Alabama. 28 more have multiple starters who are 800+, and since we're only 10 games in, could have 5 players who break 800 by the end of the season. Of these, only 7, Umass, St Louis, Dartmouth, Utah, McNeese st., Gonzaga, and Loyola-Marymount are from non-Big 6 conferences. Then again, I think any numbers like these need to be taken with a grain of salt, since teams often go to the Sweet 16 and higher without being "really good", and currently, George Washington is ranked 11th in the country and had the number 4 rpi, although they only have one player over 800. Also, the number one rpi so far belongs to McNeese st. though they have only 2 800 plus players.

Wow, so there are 42 teams in Rupp with multiple 800 rating players?   That's a lot more than I thought.   I better figure out how to recruit better FAST!

only third best in the conference though, two other schools from the conference made the NT title game while I got knocked out in the FF

I would actually say you were the 4th best team since I beat you the last time we played and I ended the season with a W, so what it was in the PIT, lol.

Shame you broke that impressive streak of consecutive NT 2nd Rounds.
