Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 3414714, member: 7492"] I am normally a "glass half empty type guy" so I need to make a more concerted effort to find the positives of various conferences and teams. Along those lines, here's my "positive spin" of teams within each of the major conferences (and the Big East/AAC). [B]AAC[/B]-this is a tough one, and I go with Temple whose RPI #54 is second best in AAC. [B]ACC[/B]-Wake Forest, picked last in the preseason has an RPI #6, is tied for 5th in ACC and wins of Duke, GaTech and Syracuse. Just need a win vs. ND! [B]Big12[/B]-TCU, picked 8th in the preseason, sits tied for 2nd, Massey #29, RPI #23. So despite a OOC rank of 114, TCU Beat Texas, Iowa State and West Virginia but lost to Texas Tech Head bang [B]BigTen[/B]-Iowa at 17-3/8-1 and in 1st when predicted to finish in the bottom half of the league. Massey #16 RPI #4 [B]Big East[/B]-Marquette, picked 9th after losing their coach, they are 15-5, tied for 2nd, with Massey #34, WN-#37 [B]SEC[/B]-Dare I say it? Tennessee at 16-4, tied for 2nd, Massey #26, RPI #51, losing a coach, losing 2 transfers, managing huge expectations and a non-existent offense, they've made the best of a bad situation. [B]PAC12[/B]-Colorado at 14-5, RPI #43, Massey #37, picked for last in the PAC12, ok [USER=9636]@Dokey[/USER] Uncle, I give in-send me a Colorado Buff's WCBB T-shirt and I shall wear it proudly!! What say you my knowledgeable brethren? [/QUOTE]
