Or to play devils advocate- perhaps there is more parity in general this year than most. Which makes it easier for a unique conference such as the BE to have a better rating with the computers. Which is the best team in the BE? Can you picture that team winning the NC? Can you picture them in the FF? Strangely enough some of the best teams are from conferences other than the traditional power conferences.
It is difficult to compare conferences from different years but I would say in general this just may be a “down” year for college basketball talent-wise. Which I enjoy more and think is great. Depends how we define greatness.

The best teams are still from the power 5 + Beast. SDSU is elite 8 ceiling. VD sweet 16 ceiling. Gonzaga well they arnt winning shit bc they have been overrated for 20 years and still haven’t won shit and it won’t be this year. I’m going Kansas, Baylor, Michigan State, UK, DUKE and of course Xavier bc why the hell not.
If I was going to school for school, I wouldn’t have picked the University of Cincinnati. Dontonio Wingfield

I said “some of the best teams”. Look at the top 5 as it stands today: The 3 teams you mention are not “power” conference teams (I hate that term btw) and are currently sitting in the top 5. Has that happened anytime recently this late in the year? I am struggling to recall an instance but could be wrong.
Also last time I checked there can only be 4 teams in the FF.

Not that we were in the BE then, but 2011 UCONN is waiting for you to call them for the answer to your question.
Makes the point about playing in a legitimate conference more clearly: battle tested throughout the course of the season means better prepared for the NCAAT.Last edited by xudash; 02-18-2020 at 12:03 PM.

This.
It's about the product on the court, but this time around it's about the front office decision to bring them in, because of the unique strengths they're going to bring to the product on the court.
Seriously, I haven't been able to make a BET yet. This would be the year. Tickets are going to be insane moving forward.X A V I E R

Everyone in the league likes the home and home format. The most we could add and retain that was 1 team. Personally, I think UConn was the only reasonably available team the Big East would take in (yes, we would take in Syracuse but that ain't happening).
Also, someone needs to explain to me how Dayton makes the Big East better, because I've never seen it ?
