bpo57, I believe you are failing to understand some points Garbs and others have been trying to make to you over a couple different threads.
 
First, the BE's performance in the NCAAs last year is immaterial to the fact that the selection committee chose 11 teams from the conference to be in the dance.  Those choices were made based upon what had happened during the regular season - which including just OOC games those 11 teams went 10-4 against Top 25 teams and 10-6 vs Top 26-50 teams for an overall Top 50 record of 20-10 for those 11 teams.  The next best conference in terms of bids, the Big Ten  (which got 7 out of 11 teams in) finished 4-11 in Top 50 for those 7 teams.  The third best conference overall was the Big 12 which finished 13-8 in Top 50 wins OOC for their top 6 teams.
 
But more importantly, the bubble this year is even worse than the bubble was last year.  I just don't see how the Big East doesn't get at least 8 in, probably 9, with an outside shot at 10 if things fall just right.  And yes, the Big East this year is down in comparison to last year. 
 
Cheers,
Neil
