That makes no difference when your in conference is head and shoulders better than St Mary's.

It makes a difference when more and more P5 teams are filling their schedules out with teams ranked 250-350

You have to look at overall SOS. Because the WCC is a weak Conference, teams

No, you have to look at overall rankings, which already take into account SOS

Are you saying that St. Mary's had a stronger overall SOS than those teams you

It makes a difference for the weaker conferences, yes. It makes sense for those P5 schools.

How can you tell if a conference is strong if they won't play anyone substantial

He listed teams in the ACC, Big 10, Big 12 and AAC. Are you really going to

Nice to see you buy into the hype. How can you really know if they're very good

ManicBlue

My goodness. Sometimes you can just tell. I don't know what to say if you

How can you 'just tell' that a 6th or 7th team in one of those conferences is

ManicBlue

No argument there. I think St. Mary’s may be as good,
