IMO, National Champs and All-Americans matter much more than NCAA team points.  I would much rather be fan of a team with many AAs and than feeling good about my team finishing 7th or 8th in team points.

I know of course, that the number of champs and AAs do align closely with team placement

[Tigerfan]

The data clearly shows PSU, Iowa, OkSt, tOSU, and Mizzou, in that order, is the answer to the OP. 

One could argue swapping tOSU and OkSt. And I suppose you could try to argue Cornell above Mizzou, but considering Mizzou was ranked higher than Cornell in 6 of 9 weights in 2020(neither had a ranked HWT), I’d lean towards Mizzou (shocking, I know). Nonetheless, Cornell and Mizzou are neck and neck for 5th. 
 

There is considerable distance between those 5 and whoever one would rank 7-10.  VT, NCsT, Minny, and either Michigan or Nebraska would round out the top 10. 
 

You’re welcome.
