Who all six models predicted the top 25 teams would be after the 1988-89 NCAA champion tournament completed.
Commentary: Lots of agreement amongst the models, regarding which teams should be in the top 20, though the MCB model had St. Mary's as the #23 team, which is 12 or 13 places higher than the other five models listed below, and the NIT Champion (St. John's) was ranked from #21 all the way up to #46.
