177 College Basketball Teams Since 2002 Are Better Than Syracuse's 2003 Championship Squad

Syracuse's lone national championship team is also its fourth-worst team since 2002, according to Glicko Ratings.

The 2003 Syracuse Orange might be SU's lone national championship squad in program history, but that group isn't even among the top 150 college basketball teams since 2002.

At least, that's according torankings compiled yesterday by Ustreet of The Daily Gopher, Minnesota's SB Nation site. Ustreet used Glicko Ratings (similar to the Elo Ratings FiveThirtyEight uses) to rank every college basketball team since 2002, and the team that topped Kansas in the 2003 national championship game comes in at 178th-best.
