Message: [QUOTE="7774, post: 3492773, member: 2419"] Yeah, programs like UConn and Syracuse certainly have fallen off since the split. And yet since the split we've both still had more NCAA tournament success than anyone in the NBE except Nova. Syracuse has sucked, still made a Final Four. We've sucked, still won an NCAA title. Nova's last 3 Big East championship wins were against a team that lost in the first round of the tournament, a team that lost in the first round of the tournament, and a team that lost in the first round of the tournament. The NBE just really benefits from all the flaws in the systems used to measure conference strength, because you really don't have any bad teams (and believe me, I'm happy we will be able to take advantage of these flaws as well). You have a bunch of decent teams, and Nova. And when you aggregate that for a conference level look, it results in a great metric. [/QUOTE]
