OK Big East fans, hypothetical question?

NO way an undefeated Rutgers would wind up #1 or 2 in the final bcs poll, because of their weaker schedule than stronger conference teams. \nWhat impressive non conf teams did they beat?\nPlus, they play in the weakest by far of the bcs conferences. \nI believe even a 2 loss team from the SEC or Pac 10 could finish ahead of an undefeated Rutgers in the final bcs poll

Feet would just go into the mouths of the media.  Just like Michigan/Notre Dame...GO BLUE!!!!!!!

I don't understand why Western Kentucky is moving up, but at least they're moving to a conference that they could be competitive in (Sun Belt). U-Mass could be in trouble if they moved up, for there's not any conference up there that would be a good fit for them except maybe the MAC, and I think Toledo, Bowling Green, Miami (Ohio) and etc. would hammer U-Mass regularly, so they're better off staying in 1-AA Atlantic 10.

And don't for get BC (Boston College).  They're obviously not in Jersey or Penn, but they were in the Finals against Wisconsin last month.  They were heavily favored going into the playoffs, and I believe they won the title last year.

I'm going to be honest, from my perspective, and say, not a chance.  The east has too many good teams this year.  The Central Division could send all five teams.  That would leave two spots for the other division leaders, and then one other spot would be left.  They just don't have the talent this year.

I've got Nova.  Nova's played much tougher competition overall, playing in the Big East.  I think that gives them the edge against B.C.

I think not.  Strength of schedule determines a great deal in the rankings.  Many are saying that the Big East isn't getting any respect and I tend to agree with that.  At any rate one of the "bigger" schools like Florida, Auburn, ND, schools with one loss will end up behind the winner of the OSU - Mich. game today.  Even if Rutgers runs the table I don't even think they will get a shot at the national championship.  Maybe a BCS bowl but that's about it.  Another reason why division 1A needs a playoff system.  Everyone else has them.

To Batmen:\n\n   I happened to have had the pleasure of seeing Len Bias play in person at Cole Field House while I was living at the DC area at the time. He was incredible. He could simply take over the game with his shotmaking and impressive dunks..and he played defense real well too. He may not have played a single nba game but i assure you had he lived his impact on the game would have been tremendous. In a way there is some basis for thinking of his demise as a curse. The celtics won a championship in every decade till that point (50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s). They have not made the finals since 1987. They're one shot was the Tim Duncan draft year but they didnt luck out in getting the top pick in in the lottery.This is the longest drought in celtics history in terms of championships and it all started with the death of Bias. If you want to interpret it as a curse of the Bias legacy it wont be far off the truth. Dont disrespect Bias? Oh pleeeze the guy threw his life away on a cocaine binge. If he deserves respect for that then please join Osama and his mindless minions. And don't blame Ainge for their troubles. Given what he has to deal with Danny has done a decent job

Well i agree with some of the people here. UConn is a power house team but they do have some hard games ahead of them but i think if they get past the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 then they'll be in the Championship with the winner of Duke/Texas (two very good teams). I think this whole tournament is up for grabs and fun to watch....thats y its called MARCH MADNESS!!!!

Nope. I had UNC, WVU, Villanova, and Xavier for my final four. On some sports show I was watching yesterday they said "Show me a perfect bracket and I'll show you a million dollars". I think it was impossible to pick this years final four. I think I'm just going to put all the names in a hat and pick out four for next year I'd probably have better luck. I think George Mason will win it all this year. They want it more and are willing to work harder than any other team to get it. I am happy Duke got beat. DUKE SUCKS!!!

Yes. Notre Dame is part of the Big East in all sports EXCEPT football. They joined in the mid-90s. They retain their independent status in football.

Guard play is important, and Villanova does have one of the best guard fronts, but guards aren't everything. Balanced teams (teams with both an inside and outside power) seem to do best when it comes to "The Dance." And yes i do think Villanova has a good shot, but so does every top ten team right now. Duke has showed weakness now and so has every other team at the top of the bracket. My favorite to win it all is still Duke, but a lot can happen in the upcoming weeks.

He asked LEAGUES, not it's university's collegiate team. \nI'm not sure, but I would doubt it unless it's an intramural type thing at a ft. or something
