NCAA College Basketball Talk

Kenpom rankings are a joke. Compare the PAC 12 performance in the NCAA tournament and their bogus ranking compared to the Big 10 teams whose seasons blew like a fart in the wind.

Your confusing me with someone who gives a crap about The Big 10 or the Pac 12.

Just for you usc4valpo:

If you want to look at it in a positive manner, the PAC-12 is 2-0 in being the second best team in their bowl games!  Congrats to the Conference of Consolations! 

[valpotx]

Congrats to the Conference of Consolations in now being 3-0 in securing second place in their bowl games!  Good job Arizona State, you are falling right in line with the rest of your runner-up peers!

Basketball dudes. Football sucks right now, and the non playoff bowl games are a bad indicator with the lack of significance, transfer rules and players opting out. PAC 12 baseball is solid and Olympic sports success is off the charts.

Excuses are like butts...everyone's got one .

Also, unless Left Out University is part of the PAC-12, I don't believe that the conference has a team in the playoffs?  Good news, however, as the PAC-12 is now 4-0 in winning the runner-up prize in their bowl games.  The Conference of Consolation Winners continues on!

Here's a smart move.  Loyola hasn't played a game since early December due to Covid so they picked up a neutral site game against SF! And no it's not the school from Texas

Very good move by Loyola. We may be seeing a newfangled Bracketbuster 2.0 as the season progresses.

At least in the Conference of champions you don't have truck stops like Waco with the worst interstate road construction around. That drive on I35 really sucked. Thanks God for the kolaches at Buc-ees.

Uh....California highways suck!  Trash littered everywhere.  I remember a drive from Los Angeles to Temecula, down to San Diego, and I was appalled. 

[usc4valpo]

Getting into I35 traffic jams in the middle of nowhere or the Waco truck stop is unacceptable. Abbott and Cruz need to pay immediate attention to this and accelerate the infrastructure cash to Texas.

In LA you would expect congestion just like any other metropolis. As for getting stuff in a rural area, it is unacceptable.

That being said, San Antonio is great city with untapped potential. Bigger things are going to happen there.

UTA to the WAC looks almost official.

Chicago State being courted by the MEAC and the OVC.

I would actually love to see them get into the OVC. It would be the most geographically friendly conference they have been in since they were in the Mid-Con. That would really help their program while the MEAC even with its difficult travel situation would be a nice institutional fit for them.

[valpotx]

Yes, Chicago State should join the OVC.  I get the HBCU connection to the MEAC, but that will kill their program even more, similar to their time in the WAC.

Honestly, it is amazing that Chicago State still exists with the financials burden in Illinois.

Big conference of champions matchup as Duckzilla faces Troy. Walton may be on this game.

[VUGrad1314]

I think a big shakeup in the FCS football ranks is coming. I don't see it affecting the MVC that much but many conferences are going to look radically different over the next year or few years.

[justducky]

Walton may be on this game.

Thanks for the warning.

Our program is rudderless and we need to clean up our own house, but this put a small smile on my face.

The Conference of Champions are in 6th place for all conferences and will probably only have 3 teams to make it to the dance while other conferences:

Lunardi Bracketology
CONFERENCE BREAKDOWN

Big Ten 8
Big East 7
SEC 7
Big 12 7
ACC 4
WCC 4
Pac-12 3
Mountain West 2
Conference USA 2
American 2

Pac-12 = Conference of chumpions.

How have the COCs done since Richard Nixon was President? And how many national championships has USC won?
