There has been a lot of discussion lately about how OSU basketball ranks as a program against Illinois and our Big 12 peer group. There are almost as many ways to rank programs as there are D-1 basketball teams: tournament success, conference championships, W/L records, athletic department strength, etc.
Here’s the method I used. I took Ken Pomeroy’s rankings over the last 10 years and weighted them so that 2017’s results count twice as much as 2012 and 10x as much as 2008:
2017 – 18.2%
2016 – 16.4%
2015 – 14.5%
2014 – 12.
