Most Cyclone fans choose metrics that support that. Most Hawkeye fans pick those that support the Big Ten's claim...

Whatever supports your agenda, like I said I hate Izzo, but what did he say that was so erroneous? You could make the case for all 3, different sites are going to have different rankings.

There is no denying the fact the ACC has 5 really bad bottom feeders which inflate the records of some other teams. Plus with the unbalanced schedule a team like Virginia Tech made a killing this year feasting off of them. I wish we could play the the worst teams in the conference twice, while avoiding the best teams, and then get a 4 seed.

Oregon right now looks like a team that deserved to be in the tourney and may do some things.

Oregon has been quietly inching upward for several weeks. Granted, winning in Pac-12 this season isn't a monumental accomplishment, but I think UO started to develop into something closer to the team of preseason expectations (not quite that high, but compared to first few months).

They obviously don't understand percentages....

That's a pet peeve of mine when the media talks about bids per league. When some leagues are 14 or 16 teams and one league is 10 teams, it is stupid to put up the total teams per conference without the percentages in there.

B1G is just one year removed from being a 4 bid league.

It comes down to what criteria you deem to be the best in my opinion. You could make cases for the Big 10, ACC, and Big 12.

Let's be honest, The Pac 12 is where it's at...best conference by far.......
