Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

It doesnt change that those are much bigger wins than any of Fran's blowouts of ISU which is what you disagreed with.
If you want to say Fran beating Ohio State with a Lickliter recruit is bigger than your Super Bowl wins have at it
 
Since the current iteration of the Big 12, KU, TTU and OU have each had 1 FF appearance and the conference has had one title game appearances.

In the same time period, the B1G has had 3 teams combine for 6 FF x 0.71 = 4.26 appearances and 3 x 0.71 = 2.13 appearances in the title game. None of the title game appearances belong to MSU.

4.26 > 3
2.13 > 1

Boom. I knew all that time in Carver was worth it.
Pardon my math, what's .71?
 
I do have to say also, whether or not it benefits or hurts the B1G, the committee tries to spread out same conference teams to hopefully not meet until the Sweet 16, although I think there are some 32 matchup anomalies depending on number of teams that get in the tourney/number of teams from there conference.

How would that only impact the B1G?
 
I'd agree most of the last decade yes. Much like kansas is the only one in the Big 12, but illinois is for real this year. They'll prove it.
Imagine thinking Illinois is a national title contender this year but Baylor isn't
 
Then what is the point of this if we are comparing the Big 12 and B1G:
If there's been more B1G teams in the tournament. I'm sure the Big East during its huge membership heyday, and now a large ACC have a more individually direct path thru the tourney if they have more teams in/they can't play each other until the S16.

Like I said, I don't know if its really had much of an impact.
