First of all, thank goodness they are not, but, to highlight how much better the Big East is...

12-6  (9-6 in BE)
0-1 vs #1 BE team, Nova
0-2 vs #2 BE team, Creighton
0-1 vs #4 BE team, Shall
1-0 vs #5 BE team, Xavier
0-1 vs #6 BE team St. Johns
1-1 vs #7 BE team Providence
1-0 vs #8 BE team Gtown
2-0 vs #9 BE team Butler
2-0 vs #10 BE team Marquette
2-0 vs #11 BE team Depaul

And most metrics have UConn in, many as last four in, or if they are not in - last four out.

In the AAC, a 9-6 with similar performance would look like....
0-1 vs Witchita St
0-2 vs Houston
0-1 vs Memphis
1-0 vs SMU
0-1 vs Cincy
0-1 vs Tulsa
1-0 vs UCF
1-0 vs USF
2-0 vs Temple
2-0 vs Tulane
2-0 vs ECU

When you look at it this way, the difference between AAC and BE is really very clear.

Even with a win over USC, I think even the most diehard UConn fan would be hard-pressed to make an argument for 2nd, AAC version of the team belonging in the field with a similar AAC record according to how teams are ranked.  UConn 2020 AAC version isn't even close to 2020 BE version.  But in the Big East, they are clearly in the mix, AAC not even close.
