Jeff Goodman Says Big East is Overrated

[hoyahooligan]

BE is now #1 in the RPI!

The BE has over taken the Big 12 as the #1 RPI conference.

Sure it's by 0.0001 but it counts!

Please do keep in mind that I will take DePaul's history up against any other Big East Team though. That does not help now but....

This is a strong statement. Not to pile on but DePaul had their entire run in the late 80s vacated and thus has been to 4 NCAAs in the last 30 years and has been a disaster since joining the Big East... And I say this fully realizing the 2000s have been pretty tough for PC as well until last year. You've inspired me to start a thread on on all 10 BE teams and their history,more to come.

Btw I'm rooting for DePaul to rise and I think the new arena will help. Need a new coach though. Also although I don't want DePaul to win this year it's ludicrous people from other schools are mad that they're trying to win their games.

Yeah um really you'd take DePaul's 2 FFs, 1 Elite 8. When 3 teams in the conference have national championships?

I am with you, as is ESPN, based upon this article from 2 years ago.

12. Georgetown
16. Villanova
17. Marquette
34. Xavier
T-40. St. John's
45. DePaul
59. Butler
66. Providence
69. Creighton
116. Seton Hall

It also goes without saying, DePaul did not help their numbers in the past 2 seasons.
