BIG down to 1 team in Top 10 AP

Michigan State is a top 10 team IMO. Really bad luck in the Illinois game and shot horribly but they will be tough in March as always. Legit shot to win it
 
I don't know why people have been calling the Big 10 the best conference in 'Merica. They only have one team with a legit shot at the title.

And which conference has more than that? All of the Big 12 teams have flaws and frankly this is one of the worse Kansas teams I've seen in awhile. The ACC is pretty balanced but they don't have any invincible teams either. Heck, Duke got knocked off on their home court yesterday. The Big East has Syracuse and not a lot more going for it. The SEC has Kentucky and a decent Florida team, but I don't think the Gators can win it all. The Pac12 is way down. If the Big Ten isn't the best league, who is?

Big 12. Grain of salt.

Kansas is a good team, they just don't have any depth.

The B10 might be deeper in the first 6 teams IMO, but they have a bottom barrel that is rather bad.
 
Touting any specific team as a title contender in a single elimination tournament is flawed at best.

4 of which are just waiting to get beat in round 1 or 2 of the Tourney. I'm not overly impressed with anyone but OSU right now.

You think so?

I did notice quite a few mid majors ranked as well. Come tournament time those teams are dangerous as they do not play in a conference where other teams can beat them up.

Name a conference with multiple impressive teams right now? The ACC? Duke hasn't been anymore impressive than MSU, the Big East is Syracuse and then everybody else, the B12 has three top ten teams, but I could easily see everyone of them losing by the sweet sixteen. The Pac 10 is just flat out terrible.

Certainly over rated pre season. Much like B12 football this year.

B10 lost as many bowl games as the B12 lost OOC games in total.

A B10 vs B12 football matchup could have resulted in a sweep for the B12 with ease. The B10 has degraded into nothing more than the Midwests version of the ACC - awful in football, overrated and unimpressive in basketball.

Ohio State and MSU have legit shots to win it all for the Big 10. I actually would take MSU over OSU as they have the Izzo factor

Big 12 has 3 teams with talent but I don't know which team could win it. Kansas has talent and coaching but no depth. Missouri has best guards in the country but no big men and zero depth. Baylor has best talent of 3 but Scott Drew coaching. All big ? makrs

ACC has 2 teams that could but I really only think UNC can win it

SEC has 2 in Florida and Kentucky

Big East has Syracuse and maybe Marquette

It's tough to have multiple teams that can win it

Because top to bottom the B1G has the most balance. Also, the reason we don't have many top 10 teams in the poll. We are beating the hell out of each other.
In the NCAA tourney, however, that will pay dividends. I expect the B1G to have a lot of success.

A critique of the B1G by a clown fan holds zero relevance with anyone here. Go back to clown-town.

I love the people that tout their conference more than their own team. That's the fan equivalent of saying "my dad can beat up your dad". It's pathetic.

Not true at all. Conference success has many factors over a teams success. Has always been that way.

Let's says Iowa were to go 8-8 in the Big 10. That goes a lot further than going 8-8 in the Pac 12. So saying your conference is better and having it be true is very important to your program.

No, the reason we don't have many top 10 teams is because Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Michigan are not as good as they looked earlier this season.

There is not a team in the Big 10 that does not have a ridiculous loss.
