Men's tennis doubles finish #1 in the Nation. That's a national title.

Being #1 on the last poll is a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP, refusing a national title after being ranked #1 is a sign of Aspergers

Hell based on that duke has 15 National basketball titles instead of 5. Stupid logic.

Welp the dudes that won the tournament were not even top-25 to start the tournament. I don't follow College Tennis but I do know they play lots and lots of tournaments. So, for an independent group like ITA, they don't make the NCAA tournament the sole basis for judgement. They look at all the tournaments played because the individual tourney's are not progressively eliminating competition with high precision.

In football Oklahoma has multiple claimed titles where they were 11-0 before a bowl game then lost the bowl game, someone left them at #1 on the final poll. Then they have titles were they won the bowl game but lost during the season. This before BCS and Playoff eras, of course.

But there IS a tournament and we didn’t win. This isn’t the 1961 upi or whatever. Hell based on the way you look at it Fresno state never won the college World Series. Get real man.

Even if they'd won the tournament, it's an individual championship, not a team national title. We've done that before in various track/field events, as well as men's doubles tennis.

It's still awesome, though. Not trying to take anything away from the guys.
