Big East = Overrated!

Tiger you want to talk about margin of victory not mattering, and then you say this....

Wow completely butchered formatting that. Should read....

"I'm so sick of hearing Big East this and Big East that, give me a break, they are lucky to have only WV lose today.  Marquette should have gone down if not for a god awful first half by Utah St."

They won the game and according to your point, it shouldn't matter by how much. You can't contradict yourself. Hell your Tigers didn't exactly light it up. Bet you were still sweating 53-54 minutes into the game...

Big East was 6-11 vs. ACC

Big East bottom 4 teams were 0-6 vs. the ACC
Big East top 4 teams were 2-0 vs. ACC
Big East middle 8 teams were 3-5  vs. ACC

ACC bottom 3 teams were 1-2 vs. Big East
ACC top 3 teams were 4-0 vs. Big East
ACC middle 6 teams were 6-4 vs. Big East

Big East top 4 vs. ACC top 3 (0-0)
Big East bottom 4 vs. ACC bottom 3 (0-1)
Big East middle 8 vs. ACC middle 6 (2-3)
Big East top 4 vs. ACC middle 6 (2-0)
Big East top 4 vs. ACC bottom 3 (1-0)
Big East middle 8 vs. ACC top 3 (0-2)
Big East middle 8 vs. ACC bottom 3 (1-0)
Big East bottom 4 vs. ACC top 3 (0-2)
Big East bottom 4 vs. ACC middle 6 (0-3)

Point being that even though the ACC did beat the Big East head to head the games played were between teams were not a true indicator of conference vs. conference. The ACC had 35% of their games vs. the Big East facing the bottome 25% teams compared to 17% of the time the Big East played a team in the bottom 25% of the ACC... St. John's was 0-4 vs. the ACC in games vs. Miami, Duke, Vatech, BC.

65% of the games the ACC played against a team from the bottom half of the league in the Big East (47% of the time the Big East played a team from the bottom half)

If you were to elimate games that included teams in the bottom 25% from each league the head to head would be 5-4 in the ACC favor.

Unless more fair matchups presented itself this season the record of ACC vs. Big East does not accurately demonstrate how much better one conference is from the other.

thank god SOMEONE said it...and THAT'S why UNC is my national champ. Just cause teams struggle in their conference, doesn't mean it's a TOUGH conference...just means they ALL suck balls and they're tryin to see who sucks the least.

so your picking unc because the ACc sucks balls and theyre the ones that sucked the least??

ACC 3-4 in the tourney

the ACC is overrated.  They lost to a big 10, Horizon, another b10, and pac10.  All of which they were higher seeds, pretty pathetic.

I guess you never heard of the pointspread.

Big East

AY box cat, I believe the margin is the reason you're boy started this thread

wasn't it because WV lost and four others "almost" lost?

This has more to do with not being able to beat the bookies rather then which conference is better. Big East is ok I guess, they only have 3 #1 seeds you fool.
