whelp Loyola looks like hot garbage so far.
or be up by 15-20, piss away the lead and lose in the last minute.If we had one of our good games, we would wreck both Loyala and OSU. By like 20.
My god, this game.

Dude. Do you have to rain on my make-believe-parade? I know our year was bad, but just let me have this!
The big 10 is much more like the old BE than the ACC. Honestly our playing style would have served us much better in that league.
In a year when the two conferences are about the same level I could see your point.
I have to disagree for this year even if there was a better fit. The BIG is much stronger than the ACC this year. Even with "fit" our record would be worse.
We were terrible before January 1. We were terrible in an ACC that was as bad as it has ever been. We were not going to finish .500 in any P5 or the BE this year.

So let me clarify. I am more speaking to playing style. The ACC is not a conference full of physical, defensive minded teams. Ball movement and shooting it has had. Also, outside of Duke and UNC, ( and the departed Maryland) its not been a traditionally solid conference in terms of non conference wins.
So conference games and winning vs the top 3 to 4 in the conference has really dominated the league.
Big thing is good athletes and a zone worked in the BE and it would in the B10. In the ACC it's not been that effective. I still think our regression was inevitable to some degree but maybe in the BIG our identity can carry us longer given the playing style..
So are you speaking more of our typical identity in prior years (and the typical BIG, typical ACC). I could certainly agree with that point.
This year was just a very different SU team and I don't think we were winning anywhere.
Auburn is full of punks. Not a surprise but still- want them to lose as bad as I did UK.
