Coffee is ranked No. 1 this week for the first time in history. It might seem strange that a program with six quarterfinal-or-better finishes the past seven years has never been No. 1, but it should not be. It’s not easy.

Below are schools with the best all-time winning percentages that have never been ranked No. 1 at any point in a season. These are all those with better winning percentages than Coffee’s .583.
