Florida earns its spot on this list mostly for the effort of Billy Donovan and that great group of players that included Al Horford, Joakim Noah, and Corey Brewer. That group won back-to-back national titles in 2006 and 2007. No school has done that since.

Each of Florida’s five Final Four trips have come since 1994, and Donovan led the Gators to four of those. The program has made it to the Elite Eight nine times and once had a run of four straight appearances. If Duke and North Carolina are old money, Florida is new money and the Gators have been rolling in it.
