Message: [QUOTE="scoscox, post: 3433984, member: 10030"] Nova is actually a little overrated right now, as they were last year. they get the benefit of the doubt now after their titles, as they probably should. They're 28th in efficiency margin, which, as you point out, seton hall, marquette, butler, and creighton are all better if you go by efficiency. The margin between the big east and american in almost every metric has never been greater than it is this year. the american is closer to the missouri valley than the big east. there is a reasonable path for it to be a one bid league. to say there isn't a large margin of difference is absurd I'd also point out that the "new" big east does claim all the old big east records. they're celebrating the 40th anniversary of the league this year. while it's technically a new league, with the addition of uconn, almost no one will even remember that in a few years. none of the teams in the american care. cincinnati and south florida will be the only teams that really played in the OBE. 6 of the original 8 members are in the new league. for all intents and purposes it's the same league just with xavier, butler, etc. instead of syracuse and BC.
