Just an initial stab at the idea from the other thread. Fun Index = Pomeroy's [Rank AdjT + Rank AdjO + Rank Adj D]

Interestingly this list includes nearly all of the teams that I routinely bother to watch if Arizona, or another Pac-12 team, is not playing. There are only a couple of teams in the remaining 326 D1 teams that would make my personal "fun" list.

Perhaps it really is a combination of good offense + good defense + fast tempo that leads to a "fun" team to watch.

Feel free to add, subtract, change, or rip it apart.

If uCla is so much fun then why this? :

Aside form Gonzaga, the big name games have all been played on neutral sites. Scheduling better opponents at Pauley would be a good start to the attendance problem.

That game was fun. Probably bummed out the index though.
