[Smashcat]

Gosh, years before a writer or talking head figures it out.

Kansas and a bunch of scrub teams. Texas might be able to make some noise if they had a decent coach.....but they have Rick Barnes.

West Virginia is the only other Big 12 team that's been to the Final Four in the past decade. In the Big 12, the other teams do -- whatever -- all year, and then Kansas runs away with it in the end. Every year.

Yeah, and that does not even really count for the Big 12.

I bet Bill Self is a huge Rick Barnes fan.Texas gets all these talented players and he can't do crap with them.

By Dana's logic, the American was the best league last year since their team won it all

Finally. I've been preaching this for year's.

Kneeburns making excuses as to why the BIG12 is overrated.

Every. Single. Year.

if you can't see the big12 is hella overrated then no one can help you. It is what it is.

MAYBE, MIGHT BE, a LITTLE BIT better than the SEC this year.

Maybe.

I don't make any excuses for being 1 in every rating system. On the contrary I stand on data. The League has a bunch of teams 10-25 so nobody should be picking any to the Final Four or win it all. But if that's the measure of how good a conf is then the American was the best last year.

My God those rating system change with the wind. The SEC was ranked as high as TWO this season by certain data systems. Our conference RPI has been decent as well. We also have some ownage ON THE COURT afainst the big12.

The sec bitch slapped the best team in your conference by 32 points. Middle of the road sec teams have handled top ranked big 12 teams.

You can have over inflated ratings systems. I'll take the wins.

What an idiot.
