Cant wait to hear how good the Big 10 is over and over every year
- Thread starter imajericho
- Start date
There are some smooth brain takes itt but that one might take the cake.
I remember being told North Carolina would be great this year too, in fact didn’t they start the season ranked #1 in the country?
My only problem with the B1G being overrated every year is I let this board convince me the teams might actually do well in the tournament. Does some damage to my brackets.
Pitt is looking real good, lololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololol
This year though, I mean c'mon Mossy----the ACC wasn't very good. Your best seed was a 4...Everyone is out except Miami---unless Pitt comes back from this undressing Xavier is giving them.
Purdue really gave the B10 a black eye,here....But everyone knew they were flawed.
Of the 8 teams from the B10 that got in---who would you have left out? Who else from the ACC would you have put in?
Remind me who that loss was against?
Conference challenges are misleading, and have very little bearing. If games were @ a neutral site, I'd put more stock in it.
Why? Lost @ home to So. Illinois. Lost to UCF....Then lost to everyone in the OOC that had a pulse: UConn and Va. tech. They did not beat one team in the B12 that was over .500 .
Six of their 8 conference wins came against teams that went 17-54 in the league.
Come on, beautiful....
I think Clemson should have gotten in. I know they had some bad losses early on but 14-6 in the ACC should not be left out. Idk enough the B1G teams to suggest any being left out. Just feel like ACC should have gotten at least one more, maybe 2. But yeah I don’t know who you remove. Just hate that nonconference has such a strong influence on metrics that filter into conference play.
Yeah I hate the emphasis put on OOC games----more so than conference games. Its tougher to win inside the conference.
Clemson at 14-6 should have been in...But the ACC being "down", combined with some bad losses, possibly shrunk those 14 wins? But I agree----Any team that gets 14 conference wins, in a P5 conference, has to make the NCAAT.
This year. Maybe. Normally. Not even close.
I understand this thread is triggering for you because I correctly called out your Hoosiers getting rolled by Miami beforehand and you knew the upset was gonna happen so you couldn't even refute it. That had to be infuriating.
However, UNC was also 2-0 against the big ten on neutral sites this season.
The big ten has 6 teams seeded 7-10. They went 4-2 in those toss ups type games. Northwestern player UCLA tough in a loss and Penn state played Texas tough in a loss.
Not going to have tourney success with 75% of your teams having to play a 1 or 2 seed in second round
Not going to have tourney success with 75% of your teams having to play a 1 or 2 seed in second round
Not gonna have success playing 16 seeds. 0-1 versus them in those toss up games.
They got the most teams in the tourney, and big 10 media homers crying that butgers didn't get in.
I feel bad for Penn state, they were playing very well, just ran into a national title contender. They might have been better off as an 11.

Agreed. Purdue is the worst team in tourney history.
But having only two teams get seeds better than a 7…the big ten was insanely deep. Like literally 10-12 solid teams. But they very top doesn’t have elite squads.
Before the tourney started I bet the big ten would get under 2.5 teams. I figured one of the Indiana teams and one other
Correct me if I’m wrong but right now it’s
B1G-1
ACC-0
Edit 1-1 now because IU sucks ass, which is hilarious

Why would I be triggered? I'm getting ready to watch IU actually PLAY in the NCAAT....Not pretending IF they got in.
Tough talk from somebody whose conference won’t even be around anymore in a few years and who’d love to join the B1G lmao
This is a really bad look for the B1G. Same number of Sweet 16 teams as ACC despite getting 3 more teams in.
