Similar to football. They beat up on FCS schools in non-conference and then start beating each other in conference so everybody thinks they’re all great. My guess is that basketball is probably around .500 vs other P4 conferences, but maybe I’m wrong. Don’t really care enough to look it up. -

I was kind of with you until you brought in South Carolina. They would barely be .500 in the AAC. They beat ECU at home by 7. That same ECU is 4-4 in the AAC which brings me to my next point. The SEC, and other power conference schools, really avoid playing mid-majors and law-majors on the road. It's a loss for them no matter what. They lose on ticket sales, the win doesn't benefit them much, and if they lose, it hurts them too much. Alabama played 2 road OOC games this year, one at Purdue and one at #292 5-15 North Dakota who they beat by 7. Alabama also beat McNeese at home by 7 while we got them on the road. Florida, Texas A&M and Auburn each played 1 true road OOC game and Tennessee played 2 while Kentucky played zero. Without going through every schedule, I think you get the point. We look at Memphis as our conference's standard and they went 2-2 against the mighty SEC. When AAC teams take Memphis down to the wire, is it really that hard to see the gap isn't at large as people think it is? We, and others, just need true opportunities. The P4s buy home games and take their risky games to neutral sites because most don't want to play tough road games. Then we wonder why 30 P4 teams make the tournament and 20 get canned the first round. Edit to say i realize there's technically no P4 in basketball. I do think the SEC/BIG10/BIG12 especially get some favoritism come selection time. -

Seeing it in print kind of lets you know where you are.- 1
