Kevin Duffy ranks the Top 25 sports schools of 2007-2008 using a scoring system based on media polls. A team that wins the national championship is given 50 points towards its school's total. A team currently ranked No. 1 receives 25 points, No. 2 receives 24 points and so on. All teams ranked 20-25 receive 5 points. All unranked teams with winning records receive 3 points.
