ButlerAperture-Employee Where do you see the Big East as a conference compared to the other major conferences?

Associated PressGrindageOG The Big East is still reeling from all the football schools taking off. Villanova is legitimate every year and Marquette could be a solid No. 2. The conference needs the bottom teams to get better and fast or they'll be an afterthought.

XavierCBARKLEY Marquette #2? I mean no disrespect but why would you put them above NCAA teams from a year ago Georgetown, Butler, and Xavier that all have a ton of talent. And providence that has a player of the year candidate?

Georgetownredditaccount36 Marquette a solid No. 2? Lol. Even Marquette fans aren't that delusional.

Typical Big East hate because we were the greatest conference of all time and people are still salty about it. Also this guy should have his vote taken away if he thinks Marquette is the 2nd best team in this conference.

[DudeAnon]

Wow, that is pretty shocking. I guess any hope that the voters went on more than buzz and name recognition seems pointless. Crazy

[marquette]

Yup. We're optimistic, not delusional.

The 'new' Big East has two years of data now, still early, but here is those two years compared against the two years preceding it.

(14/15) #2 BIG EAST = 82.87 82.99 ( 3) 10 82.90 ( 3)
(13/14) #5 BIG EAST = 80.63 80.75 ( 6) 10 80.67 ( 5)

(12/13) #2 BIG EAST = 82.70 82.82 ( 2) 15 82.73 ( 2)
(11/12) #3 BIG EAST = 82.12 82.19 ( 3) 16 82.17 ( 3)

--------------------------------------
There's not enough data either way, certainly nothing that would say the conference is now weaker. In fact, the strongest year of the 4 years (for comparison) was last year. It is a myth. The conference was far weaker three years ago than the apparent sense and far stronger now. The data is right there, I don't understand people who are ignorant when the cost of education is a few characters in a Google search.

The Big East was the 2nd rated conference in the country in 14/15. It is not only an elite conference, it is nearly the top of the list -- and surely will in some years.

11/12- Big East had 9/16 tourney teams. 4 top 20 teams.
12/13- Big East had 8/15 tourney teams- and would have had a 9th were not for UConn being on probation. 4 top 20 teams.
13/14- Big East had 4/10 tourney teams. 1 top 20 team.
14/15- Big East had 6/10 tourney teams. 2 top 20 teams.

Where the old big east was much better then the new big east is the top tier teams. 8 in the last 2 years of the OBE vs 3 in the 1st 2 years of the NBE. That's the biggest difference. The NBE has much more parity, the OBE had a lot more upper echelon teams. Really, it's what is your cup of tea?

No one in their right mind thought the Big East was the second best conference last year. So what? Your entire athletic budget goes to basketball, that means you can schedule 150 RPI teams instead of 300 RPI teams. When your DOMINANT champion Villanova gets beaten by a middle of the pack, mediocre ACC team NC State in the Round of 32...that tells you all you need to know about the mighty Big East.

Over here in the AAC, our 5th place team won the National Championship. So what does that tell you about these metrics??

Why do you feel the need to come here and hate on the BE? Do you go to other conferences and do the same thing or just the BE? If you are content with the AAC then cool, but you seem like the kid in grade school that has to ridicule others just so they can feel better about themselves. Are your parents divorcing? is that why you have to lash out?

Bearcat is mad that Memphis is leapfrogging Cincy in the B12 expansion discussions and is worried that he will be stuck in the "American" forever....

Points for persistence. Not really worth a further response.
