Best conference?

[TDs3nOut]

AAC, right?

 

[Arizona_Sting]

WAC

 

[SEC Official]

Wichita... they way they stroke that team for beating slightly above community college competition you would think they are a conference all by themself.

Seriously though.. ACC looks the toughest IMO along with B12... B1G has fallen off the throne over the season. March tourney will be interesting.

I would say the ACC with Syracuse, Duke, Virginia, and North Carolina; all should be in the top 10 is the best conference. Playing on a neutral court, Michigan State and Michigan are the only teams from the Big10 that could hang with any of them and Kansas from the Big12 and maybe Florida from the SEC along with Louisville and Cincinnati. That's it; they beat every other team on a neutral court. Big12 and Big10 seem close to me for 2nd place. None of this really matters, as it all gets sorted out next month. We can look at the sweet 16 teams and see who's there.

Big10 seems to have gotten worse as the season moves along. You can't say "they beat each other up" because its the bottom feeders who are beating the good teams.

??? How can you say that when UVA has yet to play anybody? They are 14-1 in conference and have 1 good win (to a UNC team that was AWFUL at the beginning of ACC play). Seriously, look at their ACC schedule, it's about as bad as it gets. And I think they are good, but sometimes the conference you play in makes you seem a lot better (ehem, WSU, ahem, SLU) and the ACC is that kind of conference no matter what you guys think. It has inflated the image of ALL 4 of those teams at the top. And yet their conference is the best? I don't get that in any way, shape or form.

Do they have the most National Title contenders? 'Cuse, Duke, MAYBE UVA, MAYBE UNC? I guess, but how does that make their conference better than the 3 deepest leagues B10, B12, and P12 (you know, that conference with the favorite to win it all at the moment)

Every team in those 3 conferences has had to face stronger competition throughout conference play. While I agree the B12 is overrated in being called the top conference, there is no WAY that they are below the ACC. Not even a chance

 

[rmilia1]

So the theory is that because every team in the B10 has the capability of beating every other team in the B10 that the conference has gotten worse??? I think you guys are having a different argument than what you think you are having. If you are talking about which league is best AT THE TOP then the ACC has a case. If you are speaking to the conference in its totality its still the B10 or the B12 with the P12 also having an argument IMO

I think this is a pretty good list.

1. Big12
2. Big10
3. Pac12
4. Big East
5. ACC
6. SEC

Apparently it is.... Humoristic - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary

I think most people just use "humorous", but... I don't get what's so funny about the list I referenced.

good teams losing to good teams i have no problem with, it's when the supposed good teams are losing to the bad teams it is fair to say your league isnt as good as you thought....

 

[gordontrue]

Ok, so ACC and SEC fan's don't like that list, lol.

Sorry guys, if we're talking about entire conference, top to bottom, the ACC and SEC fall to the bottom of the power conferences.

WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT THE ENTIRE CONFERENCE!!!! The entire conferences are not going to make the NCAAT, so wtf does it matter? I'll take UVA, UNC, Duke and Cuse against any other top 4 from any other conference any day.

If you want to have a discussion about which conference has the most potential title contenders... then no one cares.

But... if you want to have a discussion about which conference is the best/toughest... then of course you care.

So Wisconsin couldn't hang with any of those four on a neutral court. Funny considering Wisconsin won by double digits on the road @Virginia. For that matter, explain to me how Virginia "should be" in the top 10.

And UNC should be in the top 10? They have 7 losses, 4 of which were to UAB, Wake, Miami, Belmont. Lay down the crack pipe.
