As much as I hate to post this, but the Big East is doing pretty well considering where the A10 conference stands:
Below is the teams in that 'other league' and the 1st number is the current AP poll, 2nd number is the Coaches poll and the last number is the RPI
Villanova 1 1 1
Creighton 10 10 6
`-avitar 16 16 5
Butler 18 18 8
Seton Hall rec' votes rec' votes 25
Providence n/a n/a 46
Although Dayton possesses an RPI of 44, VCU a 28 and RI a 33 and VCU is the only A10 program receiving votes in the AP is it a fact that those BE teams have a change to play up their ranking during the Conference while the A10 is forced to fight each other for what?
Maybe a 2 bid conference but that's it.
