Something doest seem right about these records. Georgetown played 26 home games but Villanova 19? Also when he says 22-23, those he mean last season or the last two seasons. Either way Georgetown couldn't have played 26 games yet.

Creighton is overrated, I hope we can split with them at worst. Only UConn and maybe Marquette look like unbeatable teams

Providence and Villanova are the only unbeatens left in the league. Both of Providence's games were home, as is their next one (I think), so they'll have to pay the piper down the road.

Nova has 2 road wins, so they're in great shape, early. Yes, one was DePaul, but everyone's going to get their shot at them, at some point. Banking 2 road wins before the New Year still puts them in the driver's seat, at the moment, IMO.
 
Well coached, offensively proficient Creighton has a lot of good pieces, but imo athletic, aggressive defenders rattle their new PG easily and effects their rhythm and his composure.

I see them as five Chris Ledlums, seem a tad short in physical gifts for a top 20 team
 
Rothstein on Creighton’s big weakness so far;

“Creighton’s PG Steven Ashworth is just 7-31 from the field and 5-26 from three-point range in his last five games”

In hindsight, may have been risky depending on a guy who had one decent season at Southern Utah.

*Whoops, Utah State. Better program, but point stands.

They probably did.

However, since they're only facing themselves in practice, their is no way that can prepare them for Big East play, since it's a totally different talent level.

There is an article on ESPN ranking the Power 6 conferences. (it's behind a paywall so I can't share the content). But I think most importantly is that the narrative of the P6 continues which includes the Big East, as opposed to the Power 5 without out. It was not always certain that the Big East would remain among the power conferences. But the success of the league over the past decade and major news outlets including it with the best of leagues only adds to its relevance.

ESPN's tone has shifted massively these past few years. Their attempts to kill the Big East failed and now they're trying to become our next TV partner

Hopefully they continue treating the Big East like the Power 6 conference we are even if we don't sign our TV contract with them, but regardless of what happens the Big East will continue thriving.

I think it includes non conference games. Georgetown plays more paid cupcakes home than Villanova
