Where are we in the top 10 college basketball programs?

?

Probably 8 or 9th.

Kentucky, UCLA, Duke, Indiana, UNC and Kansas are all ahead of us for sure. UConn has more titles, so put them ahead of us. That would have us around 8th, but I believe Louisville has one more title than us, so I put them ahead of us and have us at 9th overall.

Other people value things differently, but I would bet most people have MSU in the 7-9 range.

Overall. We're too good now to be cherry picking stats.

Based on that I'd add Ohio State to HT's group but slightly below us. NC State has the same 2 NC's but 60 more wins overall. I think his rankings are pretty close.

I'd use these two lists to argue it....

I'm not big on using wins, mainly because of how easy non-conference scheduling is at some places (like Syracuse). NC State has more wins than us, but I don't think they're considered on our tier.

Also, I didn't realize OSU was so successful at one point. Seems like, like MSU football, they had a great run in the 60s before dropping off for 40 years.
