Providence over Florida State
Providence over Notre Dame
Butler over North Carolina
Creighton over Oklahoma
Villanova over Michigan
St. John's over Minnesota
Georgetown over Florida
Marquette over Georgia Tech

That's 7 different BE teams with wins over the P5.

The Big East takes another scalp! And a surprising one at that.

DePaul over Stanford.

Add:

Marquette over Tennessee

Despite the PC loss, not a bad day at all. . . As long as Xavier doesn't blow their game against Long Beach State.

Big if, they are now down 6. I think they spent too much time at Disneyland.

X up 1, under 4 to play. Grind it out Muskies...!

Xavier came back to take the lead but then Long Beach hit a 3. Tight game.

Marquette takes care of the Volunteers and DePaul joins the party and becomes the 8th member to beat a Football 5 program. Only Xavier and Seton Hall have yet to play a team from a F5 league and that changes this week. Friars can't stop the Calipari machine in Lexington.

ACC: 4-0
Big 10: 2-3
Big 12: 1-1
Pac 12: 1-0
SEC: 2-2

Overall: 10-6

On to the first week of December and more Football 5 victims await.

12/5: Providence at Boston College
12/6: St. John's at Syracuse
Wisconsin at Marquette
Northwestern at Butler
Alabama at Xavier
Seton Hall at Rutgers
12/7: Creighton at Nebraska

GO BIG EAST!!!!

Here's the more important comparison- all the conferences vs each other...
Big East 10-6 .625
Big 12 13-8 .619
ACC 11-7 .611
Big Ten 12-9 .571
SEC 7-15 .318
P12 4-12 .250

obviously this will change a TON this week with the ACC/Big Ten challenge. and also Big 12/SEC challenge But ending November, we are #1.

If you add in A10, MWC, WCC, and MVC- to make it the top 10 and all of the conferences that will get at-larges in the Tourney
1 Big East 16-7 .696
2 Big 12 18-8 .692
3 ACC 20-12 .625
4 Big Ten 20-12 .625
5 Pac 12 13-15 .464
6 A10 12-17 .414
7 SEC 12-18 .400
8 MWC 11-18 .379
9 WCC 7-14 .333
10 MVC 5-13 .278

Once again #1. Only thing I would say negative is we have 4 other losses while Big 12 has only 1. And also really a 5th if you include the Georgetown/Butler OOC game.

Saturday SHU plays Rutgers in their first year of the Big Ten. Bottom of the barrel P5 school but still a football school

Fixed it. Wasn't on conference website.

Unexpected loss by the Friars to Boston College to start off the weekend. Big East needs a little mojo. Hopefully tomorrow delivers.

ACC: 4-1
Big 10: 2-3
Big 12: 1-1
Pac 12: 1-0
SEC: 2-2

Overall: 10-7

12/6: St. John's at Syracuse
Wisconsin at Marquette
Northwestern at Butler
Alabama at Xavier
Seton Hall at Rutgers
12/7: Creighton at Nebraska

GO BIG EAST!!!!

A another great Big East day! Marquette put up a good fight against the #2 team in the land but fell short But the rest of the group put on a beat down. The Hall smashed Rutgers at The Rock, Xavier took out Alabama, and Butler wins over Northwestern. Oh yeah, the Johnnies take out the Orange at the Dome for another ACC scalp and against one of the Big East's four founding fathers. Dave Gavitt must be smiling. Really nice job gang. Really nice.

ACC: 5-1
Big 10: 4-4
Big 12: 1-1
Pac 12: 1-0
SEC: 3-2

Overall: 14-8

12/7: Creighton at Nebraska


GO BIG EAST!!!!
