The 1974 team ranks 10th and 1983 is all the way down at 67th...
"10. NC State Wolfpack, 1974 (30-1)
David Thompson, Tom Burleson, Monte Towe and the Wolfpack did what no team had been able to do for eight years: Norm Sloan's men beat Wooden and UCLA in double-overtime 80-77 in the national semifinal before triumphing over Marquette in the title game. Remarkably the 6-foot-4 Thompson averaged 26 points and shot 55 percent from the field (all 2s, of course) as a junior despite playing in an era when dunks were prohibited.
67. NC State Wolfpack, 1983 (26-10)
Everyone remembers the last seconds of the last game, but what Jim Valvano did just to get his team that far was incredible enough. NC State probably wouldn't have received a bid if it hadn't won the ACC tournament, and in the NCAA tournament Valvano's men advanced by margins of two, one, 19, one and seven points, respectively. Facing overwhelming favorite Houston and its Phi Slama Jama lineup of Olajuwon, Clyde Drexler and Michael Young, Valvano slowed the game down all the way to the 40th minute. That's when NC State's Dereck Whittenburg airballed a 30-footer that Lorenzo Charles was able to catch and dunk. Never give up."
