From season to season it’s often difficult to compare quality at the top of the sport. Even comparing data across seasons is challenging because the personnel in college is so fluid. Especially these days where transfers are everywhere and immediately eligible.
How does last season’s UConn team compare with the 2009 North Carolina Tar Heels or the 2001 Duke Blue Devils, what about 2018 Villanova or 2012 Kentucky? What about the 2025 Auburn Tigers? They have a NetRating of +36.41, which is nearly UConn’s clip of +36.43. And UConn’s rating was the best for a National Champion since the aforementioned Duke Blue Devils of 2001.
