Who all six models predicted the top 25 teams would be after the 1984-85 NCAA champion tournament completed.
Commentary: Amazingly enough, all six models unanimously agreed as to who the #4-#7 teams in the final poll should have been this year. The 50T and ZPF models placed NIT champ UCLA into the top 25, and it is hard to know if the voters would have ranked the #8 seeded Villanova as the #1 team for the year, over Georgetown, because of their small margin of victory (66-64) over the consensus #1 team (entering the NCAA tournament).
