That is a fair point, they do seem like a plausible NC.

That said, it is one vs a lot more in BB.
IIRC, that IS what I was comparing. If you go by AP and only count AP Champions, the most recent first-time NC was Florida in 1996.

Ah, got it.

Yeah, I think part of it is how fluky is the flukiest football champ? I mean BYU is the obvious one. But BYU was actually #5 that year in SP+. I'd be curious as to the pre-tourney KenPom rankings of every college basketball champion. I wouldn't be shocked if the average ranking was below #5. The smaller rosters make fielding the best roster more attainable in basketball, but beyond that you don't even need to be the best team to win it
