CBS Names Oklahoma The Best College Sports Program Of 2015-2016
"On the gridiron, Baker Mayfield led Oklahoma to a berth in the second-ever College Football Playoff. On the hardwood, Buddy Hield lit up the nets en route to the Final Four. Throw in women’s gymnastics and softball national titles, and the Sooners had a really unbelievable season across the board in 2015-16.CBS Sports weighed the results from this past football and men’s basketball seasons, as well as the two best years for non-revenue sports from every school, and Oklahoma comes out on top. Here is how their scoring system works:
We rated every FBS football school in three sports — football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball — along with two “wild card” sports to come up with the Best in College Sports award.
…
For our formula (which takes into account only schools that field FBS football programs): we weighed football worth 2.5 times as much as the other sports, while men’s basketball is worth twice as many points. Teams that didn’t finish in the final AP Top 25 in football but played in a bowl were awarded 62.5 points (25 x 2.5). Teams that made the NIT, CBI or CIT were given 20 points (10 points times two), while WNIT teams received 10 points.
For all titles that were settled via a bracket, point totals were based on via how many teams participated in the bracket. All champions in the other sports we surveyed received 100 points for a national title. For example — Oklahoma’s women’s gymnastics title gained them 100 points, Ohio State’s third-place finish in men’s wrestling garnered 85 points, and Michigan’s fifth-place finish in softball gained them 78 points."
Oklahoma finished with 603.5 points, easily clear of No. 2 North Carolina. Here is the full Top 10.
1. Oklahoma
2. North Carolina
3. Notre Dame
4. Stanford
5. Ohio State
6. Alabama
7. Syracuse
8. Iowa
9. Florida State
10. Utah
