First time making a Cartogram. Thought it would be interesting to see a US map based on the number of FBS programs. I further broke it down by the percentage of Power 5 programs, using different colors. Any feedback would be appreciative. Data came from here
Obviously Tua Tagovailoa is an easy pick as a championship-winning qb at Bama, but there could be a few other players edging him out for the spot.

A 2-2 tie has also happened, didn't want to complicate the title. As well as 62-2, 63-2, 64-2, 67-2, 74-2, and 75-2. This just jumped out to me because it's not remotely uncommon to score 49 points in a game, 7 touchdowns with extra points can do the trick.

##Introduction
Hello to Redditors watching basketball! I am u/elefish92 and currently a statistics undergraduate student at San José State. Fight on for dear old San José State!
This self-project aims to compute rankings that reflect the best division I men's basketball programs based on march madness in the history of college basketball. The project reflects all march madness tournaments since the 1938-39 school year. Much of my motivation came from the recent discussion on the top programs in college basketball and my desire to practice in sports analytics.
This thread is divided into sections that probably interest you, ranging from rankings to methodology/data. I hope you have a fun time!
##Methodology/Data
Using data for all NCAA Tournaments in men's college basketball at the division I level, I assigned a value to each division I institution based on their performance. Recall that in golf and cross country that the teams with the fewest amount of points wins, which was collected based on each individual's place. The same scoring system was used here except with most points, due to the least points system causing some funky and questionable outcomes. Thus, the following values are:
- 7 - National Champions
- 6 - Runner-Up
- 5 - Final Four
- 4 - Elite Eight
- 3 - Sweet Sixteen
- 2 - Second Round
- 1 - First Round
- 0 - https://youtu.be/bz9Pv9EadcU
There are no points given to those who managed to make the First Four, due to those institutions being borderline for the official bracket. In addition, additional points are given to those prior to the NCAA expansion, such as the 1939 NCAA Basketball Tournament starting with the Elite Eight. The computed rankings on Google by team and conference are based on a sum for all points associated with those two organizations.
This resulted in a huge database entry that was done in a week, with 1-2 hours of dedication each day. The database has multiple variables, ranging to the year of the tournament to the result of each team. The computation of pivot tables allowed inference to be much easier, and I wrote code that resulted in two sheets that gave the overall standings of teams and conferences.

Or do they offer consistently rigorous athletic programs?
Posted this earlier, but I missed a couple of head-to-head wins, so it should be updated. If I missed something, let me know and I will update the bracket.
First Four:
#16 North Dakota St. defeats #16 NC Central
#11 Temple defeats #11 Belmont (Belmont does not have football)
#16 Prairie View A&M defeats #16 Farleigh Dickinson (FDU does not have football)
#11 Arizona St. defeats #11 St. John's (SJU does not have football)
