Ranking 4 Best "13 Year Eras" In UK History​

To preface, these are for the entire 13 year time frame. I am not discussing trends, etc; we've done that endlessly. 13 years was picked because we are currently in Cal's tenure right now (13 years), which was exactly how long Hall coached, and was coincidentally when Rupp had his greatest sucess (1946-59).

#1 1946-1959 (14 years but 13 seasons due to 1953). This is also the 2nd best 13 year era in college history (2nd only to UCLA 1964-76)
