To Further drive my point home that the Big East really ain't all that great, there was a release of who had the toughest nonconference schedule in the land and UK ranked #1 behind fellow SEC schools Tennessee and Florida. Collegerpi.com is a pay sight, so join if you like and check it out. But I wouldn't.
In related news...their conference schedule...sucks.
ReplyDeleteRead my article on the Big East. The SEC has a better recrod head to head. UK is in the toughest side of the SEC with UT, Florida and Vandy. They have to play all of them twice. And UT has knocked off two Mighty Big East teams while UK is 1-1.
ReplyDeleteThe Big East, as it is every year, is all bark and no bite. It's tough, yes, but come on. DePaul, South Florida, Providence and Rutgers all suck.
Read my article on the SEC vs. Big East thus far and you will get my feelings on that.
The Big East is still better than the SEC. The Big East is leading the head to head matchup 6-4. You left 2 games off your list Boogiewoogie. Seton Hall beat Alabama and Notre Dame beat Georgia. Both of those games were in November well before you made your list. Also Providence beat Alabama this weekend. The SEC is inferior to the Big East. Scheduling tough games only proves that you can schedule tough games. As of right now UK is .500 against ranked teams. Louisville is still perfect against ranked foes.
ReplyDeleteThank you Travis. I new I was missing something.
ReplyDeleteI never said all 16 BE teams were amazing...I'll give you those 4...that still leaves 12 pretty good teams in the BE...the SEC only has 12 teams and you can't tell me that all 12 of them are as good as the 12 BE teams you DIDN'T list.
ReplyDeleteAlso, as a conference, the SEC only has 3 teams with a championship, and 5 teams that have made it to the final 4. That's pretty lacking in a "solid" conference.
Meanwhile, only ONE Big East team (South Florida) lacks a Final 4, and 7 teams have at least one championship.
