Thanks to the many of you who alerted us to ESPN/Sagarin All-Time Rankings for D-1 college basketball, where Purdue is ranked 8th.

Yes, of all time.

I must say I'm a little confused as to how Notre Dame could possibly be 12th of all time -- maybe 60-year-old football titles count?

Also interesting is the fact that the Big Ten has five of the top ten and eight of the top 16. That's right...more than 50% of the top 16 basketball programs of all time come from the Big Ten. But yeah, Digger (and others), keep slighting the conference.

Surprisingly, Penn State is only #82 after last year's national championship.
