March 21, 201115 yr Now we're getting somewhere. Show it for the other leagues and do it per capita Your turn. I showed what the Big East did...
March 21, 201115 yr The Big East has not done as well as some thought in the NCAA tournament, but that does not take away from the fact that it was the best confrence in the country. Top to bottom this confrence could wipe the floor with any other confrence and that is coming from a SEC homer. The depth of the BE is unreal and simply because they do not have a Final Four caliber team people want to call them a let down. I think the BE is the example of parody in college basketball that is taking place. Just like in the NCAA tournament one off night in the Big East and you can drop a game you should have won. The talent is that even IMO.

The talent is that even IMO. I agree that the Big East is very even but I'm not sure an all star team from the Big East would fair very well against an all star team from other big conferences. Plus, I think the top for teams from the other power conferences would compete very well with the top 4 from the Big East.

March 21, 201115 yr While we can all agree that the hype is more than reality what conference would we say is better?
March 21, 201115 yr Big East - 26 total, 1.625 per team Big 10 - 18 total, 1.5 per team Would you want to ave. it based on # of teams that made the field and had "said" wins? If so would that then make it: Big East = 2.36 per entry Big 10 = 2.57 per entry SEC = 3.4 per entry and so on? Since we are only counting the wins in OOC for the entrants?

I was basing it on the total conference wins over other conference NCAA tourney teams. Just depends on how you want to look at it. I think when you look at it both ways, you get what everyone seems to be agreeing on. The Big East is solid top to bottom (most wins looking at all teams), but they're not the best at the top (not great # among teams that made the dance).

I understand I just thought the lists I saw only listed the teams that "Got In" so the average should be based on that sampling rather than the whole conference. (Unless you put their OOC wins in as well) :thumb:

March 21, 201115 yr GT has left the building. Are you going to come over and take care of my 8 month old so I can get online more frequently?
