Oklahoma State No. 34 on AP’s All-Time Hoops Top 100 List
After checking in at No. 43 on the AP’s all-time top 100 football list, Oklahoma State flipped those numbers around for basketball. Here is how the all-time rankings were tabulated, according to the AP.
To determine the all-time Top 100, the AP formula counted poll appearances (one point each) to mark consistency and No. 1 rankings (two points each) to acknowledge elite programs. Keep in mind that AP doesn’t release a poll after the NCAA Tournament, so eventual national champions are not factored into these rankings. Instead, this list focuses more on those programs that consistently appear in the poll and/or at the top during the regular seasons.
Unsurprisingly, Kentucky, North Carolina, Duke, UCLA, Kansas and Indiana went Nos. 1-6. The poll started in 1949 so the AP is missing out on a few of the Pokes’ golden years. But OSU aligned with teams like Alabama, Arkansas, Wake Forest and Texas. Illinois was No. 11.
