Around the Big East

Oklahoma took care of business in OOC, with strong wins against Arizona, Michigan and Louisville, along with non-optional wins against Georgia Tech and Providence.

I get why they're in the conversation with Xavier. X lost to Michigan by 28, Wake is their best OOC win and they aren't even on the bubble, and Creighton/Marquette wins are good but they aren't top 25 wins.
 
I ask this question as someone who thinks the Big East is good for college basketball & the SEC is bad for college basketball.

But, if Vanderbilt (8-9), Arkansas (7-10), Georgia (7-10), Texas (6-11), and Oklahoma (5-12) were in the Big East, what do we think their conference records would be? I can't help but think they'd all be in that X/Villanova tier, if not slightly higher.

All of them? They'd probably bunch up from beating up on each other.

Any one of them (but no other)? At or near the top of the league standings.

The SEC, IMO, is the real deal, but I wouldn't be shocked if some of their teams went home early from the NCAA tournament, because they are fatigued from playing in games that feel like wars every night.
