Where did all the top college basketball teams rank in the final 1960 to 1969 top 25 Coaches polls? Which programs made the cut and which ones just missed out but received votes?

According to the final Coaches rankings, how do the programs rank all-time, by decade, and by era? Which ones were the best over the 1960s?
Take all the Coaches final rankings and use our CFN scoring system – the Coaches final regular season No. 1 gets 25 points, the No. 2 team 24, No. 3 23, and so on down to the bottom.
Okay, so this is wrong. And there’s a reason.
Duke didn’t win any national titles in the 1960s, but it managed to be ranked at a higher level than UCLA … at the end of the regular season.
OF COURSE UCLA and its five NCAA titles was the college basketball program of the 1960s, but the Coaches Poll – like the AP version – didn’t rank teams after the NCAA Tournament. And why because it wasn’t the be-all-end-all dominant March Madness force like it is today.
