College Basketball: Best Conference

[putterboy]

Well we have one for football, might as well post one for basketball.
I know Erik isn't a big bball fan, but would be interested as college ball ranks #2 after golf in my books

[putterboy]

Since UNC is my fav...ACC has to be the best with the teams in it

[p_funk]

Gotta go with the Big East. My team is WVU and I may be a little bias, but i do truely believe the Big East is the best b-ball conference.

[Matt P]

I voted for the ACC simply becuase they have a lot of great teams. I do like watching Big Ten Basketball alot and if my memory is correct in the last few years there is usually a big ten team, or two in the final four.

[deacbird]

ACC, by far.

[Holz]

I'm an Indiana grad, so I gotta say Big Ten.

[NCGolfer]

I went to Penn State, but live in North Carolina.

It's the ACC by far. Look at the ACC-Big 10 challenge...the Big 10 has never won. How can anyone say it is the Big 10?

The Big East has gotten better in the past few years but I still think that the ACC, top to bottom, is the best and most competitive conference year in and year out.

Just IMHO.

[outrider2288]

Historicaly it is the ACC w/ teams such as Duke and UNC they are always a powerhouse, but lately the big 10 has really stepped up w/ teams like Ohio State, Michigan State, and Illinois, even in the past the big 10 stood its own w/ Indiana and Michigan

[joegolf33]

ACC hands down

[Jeremy517]

Historically, it is the ACC, but certainly not last year. Only one team in the ACC made it to the Sweet 16 and none made it to the Final Four. Four of the teams lost to lower-seeded teams.

[letgodsortemout]

Normally it is the ACC but the Pac-10 was probably the best last year and will definitely be the best this coming season. UCLA, Arizona, Washington, Oregon, USC, Stanford, Washington State. All those schools should be in the tournament this year.

[useless149149]

I know ppl say that this is a down year for the ACC, but they still have three ranked teams, and Jan. 16 GA Tech, who was last in the ACC, lost to #1 UNC by a single point, and the same night, FL St was beating #7 Duke with 2 or 3 min remaining. That is top to bottom quality. There are no games that are guaranteed wins, like you have in the Big East with Rutgers or St. Johns, or in the Big 10 with Northwestern.

[mitchalo]

I have to say ACC

[mphsglf]

I think ACC is strongest top to bottom

[golf_junkie27]

This is not even close. Top to bottom, 1 through whatever the last number is, I believe it's 16, it's the Big East. I believe 14 out of 16 teams have winning records and 11 of those teams are in the top 60. No conference, none, can claim that.

I understand that the ACC may have the name recognition but it is a top heavy conference. UNC, Duke and flip a coin.

[CurtisBen]

What no love for the SEC. Come on.

[Lefty39]

the acc is top heavy and two or three bad teams in the the big east, and the big ten and pac-10 are too inconsistent. So i would go with the big east, plus PITT is awesome

[Golf Yokel]

Con USA!

We might not have 3 out of the top 10 ranked teams, but we have the U of Memphis, which more than makes up for the lack of other talent

Muahaha #1 and still running... we got shafted in the tournament against OSU because they wanted Odum to be showcased in the finals for his draft pick... but this year is ours!


And before you start in on the "dude you are from Con USA, of course you are undefeated"... you need to realize that not only are we undefeated going into our second season at home (that's 43 games and counting for you people out of the loop)... but that out of the 20 games played so far this season, we are 5-0 against Top 25 ranked teams.

Forget Hillary and Obama... Calipari for president!
