Well when you have 72 teams in your conference....
Being #1 now doesn't mean anything of course, nor does being in the top 25 get you anything at midseason...it all comes down to March, baby.

Anyone who brow beats their conference in college sports immediately loses credibility with me.

Sometimes the truth hurts.....what can I tell ya,,,GO CUSE!!!
its big time college sports.....there is no credibility to begin with. i'm a fan, but i'm not blind to the ridiculous nature of the money making machine that the NCAA and the FBS are.

That was a good game. We've got Nove this weekend, 33,000 plus tickets already sold, kids been camping outside the dome since last saturday night for front row seats.....gonna be a crazy game.
Enjoy your hoops team 'cause when football rolls around you guys are in BIG trouble with that new coach :grin:

That doesn't really make sense. The credibility of the NCAA/FBS is not the same as the credibility of a fan or commentator thereof. If a journalist covers a sleazy politician, I don't attribute to the journalist the negative attributes of the politician.

OMG MY CONF IS SO GOOD EVERYONE ELSE IS THE SUX0R YOUR TEAM WOULD BE LIKE 9TH IN OUR CONFERENCE BLAH BLAH.
I hate rhetoric like that. Conferences have up and down years, and saying a thing like "the Big East IS college basketball" just belies an ignorance that, to me, is silly.
I mean, if the Big East IS college basketball, then what of the following facts:
Ohio State, Kansas, and Duke are ranked in the top 5...Heck, San Diego St. is 6th in both polls!
There are 6 schools with more than 2 national championships. How many of them are from the Big East? ZERO
There are 6 schools with 10 or more Final Four appearances. How many of them are from the Big East? ZERO
If you take into consideration the number of teams in each conference, the Big East ranks FOURTH in terms of NBA representation.
Of the 19 schools that have 5 or more players in the NBA, how many are from the Big East? A whopping TWO.
Etc...etc...
The Big East is certainly strong this year, and is the premier league in college basketball RIGHT NOW. Fans should be proud of that success.
But to say "the Big East IS college basketball" ignores an awful lot of other evidence, both historical and current, that suggests there may be other teams in this country worth of also being considered part of "college basketball."

Never knew a Buckeye that could take a joke....
I feel dirty for posting this because I discovered it on the Pitt (have I said Puck Fitt yet today?) site, but,
"Big East teams boast a 21-12 total record against teams from the other five power conferences (ACC, BigTen, Big 12, Pac 10, SEC), with no conference having a winning record against Big East teams."

The Big East is it's own worse enemey. I think if "we" didn't beat the ba-geezus out of each other all season long we'd (big east) have a better overall record when it comes to the "Big Dance". Look at any team in the BE and tell me where there's an easy game.....they just don't exsist.
plus the games are officiated a little differently for conference games. If they called it like a big ten or sec game, both teams would be out of players by halftime. Here, in the real conference, they let them go at it like men. then they go to the tourney and have to protect all the soft little teams from our beasts.
