I noticed a trend with a manager that only cherry-picks pre-built teams and wins championships with them, and it fascinated me to the point of looking through a lot of team histories. That got me thinking - what do you guys think the longest track record for a successful team is? Any chance a team has made consecutive NTs for 75+ seasons?

Those guys are whack. I picked Moravian somewhat at random when I first joined not realizing how much of a build it would be and the **** hole conference I was in. I'm in my 10th season now and have to say it's been fun trying to become a contender. Been to the nt the last six seasons, Not a lot of success in the tourney though.

The owners who cherry pick are just missing the whole point to the game.

I hope you're being sarcastic. If you're not then I couldn't disagree with you more. It took him 17 seasons and he didn't "cherry pick" A prestige programs to coach ready-made teams. He took below average teams and made progress. What else do you want?

Some UCLA teams have a long history of NT appearances. I am sure some of the other traditional D1 powers are also high. 75+ seasons though? Besides the North Florida team your best bet might be to find a D3 team with only 1-2 coaches in it's history.

Xulapaul at Beloit in Wooden has to have one of the most successful, consistent D3 team currently. From seasons 35-95, he has made the NT 59 of 60 times (winning the PI championship the only time he missed). During that 60 season stretch, Xulapaul has won 8 national titles and played in 27 of 60 final fours. Overall winning percentage at Beloit is 0.806

True, he's been very successful. But I get the feeling from looking at other worlds that winning at PBAU is a forgone conclusion and even Wardo could have taken that school to a few Final Fours lol.
