BIG EAST vs. FOOTBALL 5 2019/2020

[stever20]

I’m going to go ahead and say it was one of the two national championships

That's fair. But would you agree for regular season- this is #1 and not really even close? I don't even know what the 2nd would be quite frankly(maybe earlier this month).

Look, I've been doing this thread since the realignment in 2013. I've been a St. John's and Big East fan since the early eighties. Today was the best regular season day in conference history. This conference is stacked from top to bottom - and to be honest, I'm not sure who exactly is going to be the bottom, but it's going to be fun. To recap -

Villanova takes down the #1 Jayhawks in Philly (how is Self still allowed to coach?).
Providence shakes off it's recent woes and puts a beat down on the Longhorns.
Creighton goes to the desert and takes down Arizona State on the road.
Butler claims Indiana as a BIG EAST state as it beats up Purdue.
DePaul reclaims the Windy City and knocks out Northwestern
Without it's best player, the Johnnies travel to San Francisco and take out #16 Arizona under Chris Mulin's retired banner. (How is Miller still allowed to coach?)

With just one more game this regular season against the F5, Xavier will close out this thread tomorrow. Win or lose, we will not have a losing record against any F5 conference and will have winning records against the BIG XII, PAC-12 and SEC. We will also be at least 11 games over .500. I love this conference.


Sun. 12/22 - Xaiver vs. TCU


vs. ACC 2-2
vs. B1G 8-8
vs. SEC 5-2
vs. XII 10-3
vs. PAC 4-2

Total 29-17

Go Big East!

This is the best we've ever done against the P5 since reconfiguration if I'm not mistaken...

Winning percentage aside, the conference piled up some high-end wins this week. A Xavier win tomorrow and the ooc season will exceed my expectations.

Winning percentage aside, the conference piled up some high-end wins this week. A Xavier win tomorrow and the ooc season will exceed my expectations.

so looking at OOC winning % overall-
2020 94-25 .7899
2019 94-32 .7460
2018 101-23 .8145
2017 97-29 .7698
2016 95-30 .7600
2015 94-31 .7520
2014 94-31 .7520

this year what league has left vs D1 schools
La Monroe @ Butler 98%
UCOnn @ Villanova 76%
Villanova @ Temple 54%
Central Ark @ Marquette 99%
Xavier @ TCU 47%
American @ Georgetown 95%

go 6-0 and league is at 100-25. .800 I'd guess that the SOS this year is much better than 2 years ago(remember Georgetown was #351 for one).

Here is this year's OOC SOS-
Butler 104
Nova 17
Georgetown 11
Creighton 142
Seton Hall 100
DePaul 268
Marquette 53
Xavier 121
St John's 238
Providence 242
avg 129.60 (and this was BEFORE today)

2018 the avg SOS was 148.50

If the league can go 5-1 in the 6 remaining games- I'd say this year surpasses 2018.

The difference between this year and 2018 is that even though the Big East has a lesser winning percentage this year, it is significantly better than every other major conference by at least 3% or more which means ALOT! Back in 2018 there were 3 conference with winning percentages over 79% which means that it may have been a down year for the mid and low majors. Obviously there is a lot of game to play in ooc still but I think this year as of today is better than 2018. just gotta finish strong

It's great to see DePaul fans actually have a season they can enjoy. Congrats.

BE vs B12 helps bring that number down. And the B12 vs SEC challenge will probably bring the percentage down further for those 2. Perhaps there's a push for tougher schedule nationwide.

And Xavier puts an exclamation point on our series with the F5. We are now done for this season and what a job we did. Everyone was able to claim a piece of the success. Those in the Catholic 7 will remember when the Big East was going through the turmoil from 2011 to 2013. We were told over and over that any separation by the Catholics would be the death knell for those schools. The C7 could never survive without being connected to football. There would be no TV contract, no way we could hold a tournament at MSG with the ACC wanting come in and there would been interest nationally in such a league. But the loudest refrain was we could never compete with schools that played big time football. We would never have the resources to attract the talent to compete and we would be a CYO league. Instead, the C7 brought in three exceptional basketball schools that feel like they have been here forever. We are now in season seven and have never- not one time- had a losing record against the Football 5. This season was an absolute run away. Congrats to DePaul, Xavier, Georgetown, Providence, Marquette, Butler, Villanova, Seton Hall, Creighton and St. John's on a great non-conference season. Now we will hate each other until selection Sunday - but it will be a fun hate. See you at the Garden. GO BIG EAST!
