:heh: Syracuse is a mainstay in the tournament, and were a 1 seed 2 of the last 3 years while playing in hands down the best conference in college basketball. Pitt had a down year last year, before that they made the tourney 9 straight years, and were never lower than a 5 seed for the last 5 of those years, they'll bounce back

The Big East was not hands down the best conference in basketball the past few years. They've been highly overrated. How many times did Nova and Georgetown have to get swagged on for you to see that?

They didn't drop the criterion. Nebraska lost AAU member status after already being accepted into the Big 10. You guys are fighting really hard to prove your point.

"Big 10 academics aren't even better than the ACC right now." Debatable, very debatable.

:mindblown:

it was Gizzle's point, not mine. HE said that Big 10 will only accept AAU schools. I pointed out Notre Dame, and you are pretending thats not what he meant despite clearly saying that.


And all of these lists are subjective, but 9 ACC schools (would be 10 were it not for Maryland leaving) in the US News and Report's top 60 vs 6 in the Big 10.

I know you didn't bring it up. I'm pointing out that you're representing it wrong. They DID not drop it for Nebraska. Nebraska was presented to the provosts as an AAU member. That was the spin they were using.

I don't know why you guys are using this arbitrary top 60 either. :heh: But USNWR aren't good for anything other than seeing which schools are "most selective." Their rankings contradict themselves, wouldn't call that a good metric. But it's whatever, we're now in the middle of a pointless discussion.

:mindblown: Its easily been the deepest and best conference.
Over the past 6 years they've had 48 teams in the tourney, 20 in just the last 2 years
6 times in the final 4 over that same span. Not the same one or two teams, but 5 different teams, with UConn going twice. What conference is fukking with that?

P.G.
Pitt will absolutely suck in the ACC. Hell, they've fallen off already.

Syracuse will be mediocre as fukk in the ACC with Boeheim's wack ass recruiting.

I hate Syracuse as much as the next man, but they're gonna eat in the ACC and will be in the title picture yearly. There isn't a program in the ACC right now that will be a thorn in UNC's and Duke's ass as much as Syracuse will be.

I said Notre Dame, you keep mentioning Nebraska.

top 60 is an arbitrary number, its 7 if you just say top 50, but whatever.

yeah, I have no idea why it keeps getting mentioned that they will suffer. Syracuse already recruits the DC and Bmore areas good, and have a strong foothold in NYC and and north.

They will be the #3 school in the ACC now in basketball.

ACC just needs to cut the bs an snatch up Louisville and UCONN to be the first with 16 teams then add St Johns and Temple for basketball reasons

Blame Swofford. He's in the back pocket of UNC an bends over backwards to accommodate that other squad on Tobacco Road.

Yep, he's a complete idiot. He's too worried about sucking off everybody at UNC that he cant get anything else done
