Many say our new conference (ACC) is the best ever put together in BB. I am sure there is and will be much debate on this as we move through our rookie year in this new league, with more to come. But are we as good as what the Big East was in its hay day? This is what the Big East would have looked like at the top this year had it not fallen apart.
SU 8-0 #4
UL 7-1 #7
UConn 7-0 #12
Nova 8-0 #14
Pitt 8-0 NR
Cincy 7-0 NR
Providence 8-2 NR
Not to mention a host of teams that on any given night could beat any one of the above or any one else in the country...(Notre Dame, St. Johns, Marquette, West Virginia just to name a few)
Compare that to any league this year. No, the Big East, or at least what it used to be will not be quickly forgotten. The ACC has a shot, but other than the elite of our league, they aren't in the same catergory. Plenty of work to do, and I say it may not be coincidental that SU and Pitt find themselves at the top of the ACC so early on.
