Originally posted on College Football News | Last updated Mar 10, 2025 12:42 AM ET

Out of the 364 teams that play Division I Men's College Basketball, who were the best 68 this season?

Throw together a combination of all the metrics, a little bit of the eye test, and who ended the regular season as the best of the bunch?

Yes, these changed in a big way over the last big weekend of the season, and they'll probably change around even more after the conference tournaments. Like we do for the college football side of things, first and foremost we respect the results as we try to piece it together.

And now it's on with what we've all been waiting for - it's tournament time. But first, after over four months of regular season fun, here's how the best of the best stack up.
