Here are the top 20 sagarin rated teams ranked in order of their winning percentage against a composite of: 1. The top 25 sagarin rated teams and 2. The top 50 sagarin rated teams.

This shows you who is a legitimate power against elite competition and who is an over-ranked poser team. A lot of so-called elite teams are posers.

1. Gonzaga (8-0)
2. Nova (13-3)
3. Kansas (17-5)
4. FSU (15-5)
5. Baylor (17-6)
6. WVU (12-6)
6. (tie) UNC (12-6)
7. Duke (12-7)
8. Purdue (8-5)
9. UCLA (7-4)
10. Cincinnati (6-4)
11. Creighton (7-5)
12. Louisville (12-10)
12. (tie) Oregon (6-5)
13. Wisconsin (7-7)
13. (tie) Virginia (10-10)
13. (tie) Arizona (6-6)
14. Florida (4-7)
14. (tie) Kentucky (5-8)
15. Wichita State (0-5)

Now, SMU is currently in the AP top 20 but didn't make the list. Their record against the composite index is 4-3. So they would be tied for 12th place.
