Ranking the best teams depends on the timeframe. From the “Point System for Nationals finishes” I created, below are the results for mostly 10 year periods (plus all-time at the end). The College Men’s Division started in 1984.
Here’s a link to the All-Time Top 10 College Teams on the Ultimate History website showing the details of where each team finished at Nationals each year and how many points each team received:
