Message: [QUOTE="Tenspro2002, post: 4932992, member: 889"] ACC has greatly outperformed (8-1, 4 teams remaining -- 1, 4, 6, and 11 seeds; only Virginia embarrassed themselves, and they shouldn't have been in the field). PAC-12 has outperformed (6-3, only #2 seed Arizona remains, but #7 WSU, #10 Colorado, and #11 Oregon all made the second round). Big East has performed to expectations (6-0, #1, 2, and 3 seeds remaining). Mountain West performed to expectations, maybe slightly below (4-5, #5 seed SDSU remains, everyone else was #7-11 seeds). The Mountain West may have been overrated by NET, but the Committee punished them for being outside the P5 in their seeding, unlike other conferences who gamed the system. Big Ten performed close to expectations, maybe slightly below (6-4, #1 Purdue and #3 Illinois remain and look formidable, three 8-9 seeds went 2-1 in the first round, #5 Wisconsin was embarrassed). Big XII was overrated (7-6, of 8 teams in the field, only #1 Houston and #2 ISU remain; #3 Baylor and #4 Kansas didn't make it; #7 Texas lost in the second round, #6 TTU and BYU were upset in the first round, #9 TCU lost too). SEC was badly overrated (5-6, #2 Tennessee and #4 Bama remain, and #9 A&M won a game, but #3 UK, #4 Auburn were upset in the first round, #6 SC, #7 Florida, #9 MSU lost too). [/QUOTE]
