CBS Sports ranked the greatest programs in men's college basketball history, and the Cincinnati Bearcats cracked the Top 10 - at No. 10.
Matt Norlander - who says his ranking is "built much more on statistics and achievements than broad perception or subjective rankings" - examines UC's presence in CBS' Top 10:
10. Cincinnati
Record since 1938-39: 1,542-765 | Regular-season titles: 25
NCAA Tournaments: 33 | Final Fours: 6
Weeks ranked: 434 | Top-60 NBA picks: 39
POINTS: 882.4A mild stunner in the top 10. Cincinnati may not be a top 25 team heading into this season, but since the 1940s Cincy has routinely provided Final Four-worthy teams, produced pros, been a staple in the AP Top 25 and more often than not worked its way to the top of its conference.
