I think we all know by now which conference has the best basketball teams in it. I mean they’ve only consistently had eight teams ranked in the top 25 all season (currently they have nine) and it’s pretty much a fact that they’ll get 11 at-large bids come tournament time.
Yeah I’m talking about the Big East. According to the ‘ESPN Stats and Info Conference Power Rankings’ the Big East is the top conference with a rating of 40.6. They’re followed by the Big Ten (43.2), Big 12 (54.9), and Big 12 (54.9). But why stop the rankings there, we’ve got all the DI basketball conference 1-32 ranked for you below.
