Well not only do they have the #1 basketball team in the country, they have the #1 ranked microbiology department, and have great cell/structural biology departments. Molecular/integrative physiology is very high up there. Carl Woese and Paul Lauterbur recently won nobel prizes (woese won the crafoord prize which is the same as the nobel).
Not the best, but definitely up there.
And yeah, they're gonna win the NCAA tourney.

US News rankings.
Microbiology is a department of the school of MCB. If you look at the professors' webpages (Farrand, Slauch, etc), you'll see that many of them are affiliated directory with the microbiology department. The overall program would of course be more highly ranked if it were not for their weak biomedical research in cell biology. The highest ranked schools in cell biology are obviously MIT, Stanford, UCSF.
I think the rankings is for the overall discipline of microbiology, combining graduate, professors, research funding, peer ranking, etc.
