Message: [QUOTE="BlueDogs, post: 3869798, member: 891"] If we were in the AAC we would be in second place behind Houston with a better record than we have in the BE. But, we also wouldn’t likely have the same players, so it’s apples and oranges. Clearly by the eye test, the BE is more competitive top to bottom. It’s not as clear whether the top quadrant from one to the other is that different. Overall, the RPI difference between the Big East and American is minuscule. BE .542 vs AAC .541. In fact, essentially the AAC, BE, Pac12 and AAC are basically clustered together as effective equals by RPI rating. The cache effect of the BE (whether warranted or not) helps generate a whole lot more interest. I enjoy the matche-ups more. [/QUOTE]
