They're gonna benefit from a largely average year in CBB coupled with an expanded field.  Probably only get 10 though.

Pitt is the only Big East team that is really good imo.

The Big East is good.

Big East stomps in OOC. Can't take that away from them....their RPI numbers support that.

Big East is really good.  11/18 isn't that unthinkable.  There have been years when 7 or 8 Big 12 teams had legit shots.

Yeah, 16.  Not sure why I said 18.

Either way, 11 still isn't out of the question.

could happen if things break right.  i think the big 8 might have got 6 of 8 one year, used to get 5 of 8 somewhat frequently.


big 10 could get 7 of 11 this year, if things go really well for them.
