Bigeasthoops.com Top 25, week 2
December 20, 2006 1:34 pm by Dan'l BI guess I’ve lied, because here’s the belated rankings for week 2. I have made a few changes:
- The ratings are now expressed in terms of points above and below average. A rating of 0.0 indicates that the team is as mediocre as it can be.
- There were a few errors in my data that were corrected.
- I’ve added a column that shows the rank one week prior, labeled “-1W”. It is always based on the ratings from seven days ago, so the -1W ranking will not necessarily match the Top25 post from about one week prior.

Being the 4th best conference (according to your standings), how likely is it that the Big East gets 9 teams into the tourney this year? I’m thinking the odds are slim to none. Last year the Big East was ridiculously strong and could only muster 8 teams. This year, the conference just does not feel as dominant.
I don’t necessarily think the conference ranking here will correlate very well with how the tournament committee selects teams. That said, my “bold prediction” isn’t looking like a very good one.
