Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 4173253, member: 591"] No. I assess quality when it matters. The teams you mentioned went 55 - 26 in their OOC games against non-P5/Big East. They went 3-25 against other P5 / Big East teams (and at least 1 win was between the teams, possibly 2). So they are arguably a bit better than probably the majority of non-P5 / Big East teams and they are the bottom of the P5 barrel. I don't assess them as quality. Nothing about being in the P5, or the Big East, gives you "special powers". What it does do is give you access to additional revenue than the bulk of non-P5 teams and the option to do something with that money to improve themselves. Additionally, those teams have the option from year to year of making the NCAA tourney with an at large bid. One and out in many cases, but certainly the possibility is there. I think every one of those teams has danced. For most non-P5 teams, that possibility is not there. Only if they win their conference tourney - not realistic for most of them. [/QUOTE]
