And how many national championships has the big 10 won in that time span. I will answer that question. One just one national championship since 1990. With all that winning you note that is kind of incredible. Since everything I post is untrue fact check that one. One national championship since 1990. I would say that is an interesting number.
Yes, which is why the conference is incredibly overrated. But there's no bias for Midwest teams because that's where the NCAA HQ is, that's absurd
You’ll have to point me to what you’re talking about with your facts.
Despite dropping 8 teams into the pool every year on brand mythology and giving the conference the highest odds to win a title, they haven’t because the reality is they aren’t nearly as good a basketball as they think they deserve to be..
You thought of that horrible thing, and now you look dumb for saying it. Your initial premise was not that the conference is overrated, you said that the committee is biased towards the Big Ten. But the reality is that they're no less biased towards the Big Ten than the Big 12 or Pac 12 or any other power conference. As is usual with you, you post some nonsense and then move the goalposts when you get called out
I think all of the major programs need to cut down on the “cupcake” games to help keep college basketball relevant. They are basically exhibitions and no more than 2 are needed.
I was being sarcastic I believe in regional bias. I have lived in the southwest, Midwest for 20 years grew up in the northeast and now live in the southeast. I have listened to how the opinions differ from region to region. So with that said and since my premise is absurd who over rates the big 10. I am asking a legitimate question. If a conference is over rated which is the only thing we have agreed on who is mostly responsible for over rating them? And why does it consistently happen. Maybe we won’t win the national championship this year but I like our odds better than all the big10 teams combined.
The general public overrates the conference as a whole at the top. What I'm disagreeing with is you saying the committee has a bias towards the Midwest and giving undeserving bubble teams from the Big Ten more bids
Even with Edny , Purdue isn’t exactly overwhelming Ohio State at halftime.
Good to see that the tone is more of a debate than an insult. I was also thinking about your numbers. Which I thank you for researching. I wonder if there is a way to research wins related to bids. The data you provided is interesting but it got me thinking why I would have had such an opinion on how unsuccessful the big10 was in the tournament. My theory is that if you break down wins by bids it would be a clearer indicator of tournament success. And it more than likely still illustrate that my that my opinion was wrong and that the big10 success in the tourney was similar to other conferences. As @giddyup noted it seems they get 8 bids a year. So I guess the real metric is what are they doing with those bids on a micro level. You seem good with stats perhaps you know if that data is out there but I will look.
The info is out there, though a bit spotty to find. I know in 2022 they were 8-9 and expected record based on seed was 16-9. But I don't know of anywhere to find it on a macro level without looking year by year
Complaining about playing 1 game in Seattle as neutral when they had 3 at MSG as neutral?
American...11-8. Kind of funny we have well over half of that conference's tourney wins
lol and of the AAC's record, we have 7 of those wins, to only 1 loss
