Big East B-ball Blog has the aggregate power rankings for the conference this week. Pitt was placed #6. Here’s how I voted.
- UConn — Easiest rank. High quality wins in Maui.
- Villanova — Also cruising
- Louisville — Most teams are accused of playing nobody in the non-con, Louisville started its season so late in almost played nobody literally this first week
- Pitt — Okay, admittedly a bit of homerism but they have won all the cupcakes in front of them
- Cinci — Won all their games including a less than cupcake game against Murray St.
- Georgetown — Can’t lose to Vandy at home
- Providence — Get the wins now, because they will only become harder later
- Syracuse — Inconsistency right now. If McNamara is off, the team is going to struggle
- St. John’s — Beating on the NY Metro teams
- Marquette — I think I may have been a little unfair to the
Warriors,Gold, Golden Eagles. That Winthrop loss, though… - ND — NC State isn’t that good, and that was essentially a home game. No offense outside of the guards
- WVU — Lose 3 straight, regardless of the foes and you slide.
- USF — I repeat, USF will not be the worst team in the BE despite the lack of depth
- Rutgers — Blown out by Illinois is not a shame, but squeaking by Delaware St. and Kent St. by a combined 10 points is.
- DePaul — Not a particularly impressive team
- Seton Hall — It will be hard for them to get out of the cellar
This is completely imperfect right now. I rushed my voting a bit. That 8am Monday voting deadline makes things a little compressed.
