True story: This encyclopedia, in part, would not exist without me. I had nothing to do with the rankings or the algorithms involved in creating them, but I did massive amounts of data entry- imagine typing in the score of every game involving a Division I team over the course of 70 years, and that's what I spent many, many hours of my life working on.

Please consider accepting "St. Joe's" for "St. Joseph's." Nice quiz.

I hate to complain after you put so much work into this quiz, but please accept St. for the "State" schools.

Completely disagree with harpua22. The more answers the better. Great quiz. Would like you to accept St Joes but thats just me.

i love seeing three current Missouri Valley teams (and 6 total at the time: cincy, louisville, and slu) in the top 40 of the 60s, wish it was still like that today

At the last second, I had typed 'St Bona' in desperation. Unfortunately, St. Bona was not accepted for Saint Bonaventure. Can you fix that?

I have no idea why I randomly typed Long Beach State while desperately guessing teams, but I thought it was cool when it popped up.

Not sure why this quiz is getting so much attention so long after the fact (and if it was linked anywhere, let me know), but cool. I went ahead and made most of the changes everyone wanted (accepting "St.", "St. Joe's" and a few other nicknames - not "St. Bona" though because I've never heard it called that), and upped the time to 10 minutes.

Surprised to see Illinois ahead of Connecticut in the 00s. Also, Kansas has a similar resume to MSU, with less final fours, so how ae they ahead of them, UNC and Florida? Not meaning to be an ass, just interested in your philosophy there. Otherwise, excellent.

I'm very surprised Seattle University isn't listed in the 1960s. They were a powerhouse and sent more players to the NBA in the late 50s and well into the 60s.
