Sigh,
Is anyone else board with this debate. We have it every year at this time and it usually involves the Big 10 v. the ACC.
Best Conference... Worst Conference it doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is the team that wins 6 straight once the tourney starts. Who ever does this may not be the best team in the country but they will be the undisputed National Champions. Just ask the people from Villanova or Georgetown back in the mid 80's. Was G'town the better team? Absoultely. Are they the National Champions of that year? Absolutely not. I would say the same analogy fits for University of Houston v. NC State. Houston was the better team who ended up in second place. It matters not who is the best overall and on paper, what matters is who gets hot and performs better than the rest when it is on the line and really matters.
I am partial to the ACC, but I have to admit the Big 10 ate our lunch this year when it was on the line. I don't have a prob giving credit where it is due.
Nuff said.
