Message: [QUOTE="ochoopsfan, post: 3884541, member: 420"] Totally respect Eric's post and Eric's opinion I mentioned this subject in the Marquette post game thread under this post. [URL unfurl="true"]https://the-boneyard.com/threads/marquette-postgame-thread.169347/page-2#post-3883587[/URL] I only listed the results from the past[B] "Championship Games"[/B]. Nearly every one a blow out, closest game was 14 vs USF, with an average winning margin, in the [B]"Championship"[/B] game of [B]26+[/B] points. Over the past 8 seasons, that UConn has been in the AAC and now back in the BE, the other Power 5 conferences have had much closer margins of victory, overall, in the [B]"Championship"[/B] game. Not the first round, Qtrs or Semis that some have listed. Also, different teams have won it, see below. The AAC and BE, this year, has had one team win it, UConn [B]Big 12[/B] Only Baylor has a record close to UConns, for wins in the Championship game over that period, going 6-1(note the Big 12 Tournament was cancelled last year so I did not include it) Baylors average winning margin over that period was [B]14[/B]. If you take out one giant blowout over Iowa State it would be 11, nowhere near the 26 #of UConns. [B]Big Ten[/B] Has had 4 different winners of the past 8 years, Md 4, Iowa, tOSU, and Nebraska, one each. So there is competition in that conference. The average winning margin in the 8 Championship games is [B]9 ACC[/B] Has had 3 different teams win, 2 NC St. 5 Notre Dame and 1 Louisville, again competition The average winning margin in the Championship game is [B]11 SEC[/B] Has had 3 different teams win, SCarolina, Miss St, and Tenn, again competition The average winning margin in the championship game is [B]12 Pac 12[/B] Has had 4 teams win over the past 8 years, 4 Stanford, 2 Oregon, and one each for Oregon State and USC. Competition, again. The average winning margin in the Championship game is[B] 13[/B] Now some have said that the other teams in the AAC or BE will have to step up and be competitive, as they did in the old BE times. Different times and different cast of characters, including recruiting levels. Other than USF, nobody ever stepped up to be competitive in the AAC, over the past 7 years. UCF was physical/dirty, but in the end couldnt play with UConn, and yes there was one game vs Tulane that scared the sh_t out of BY fans. Otherwise nothing ever improved, competition wise. I still think UConn needs a tougher conference to play in. Is it UConns fault that the others in their conference are not more competitive, NO. Will it happen, most likely not. [/QUOTE]
