BIG EAST vs. FOOTBALL 5 2019/2020

[GoldenWarrior11]

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!


vs. ACC 2-2
vs. B1G 8-8
vs. SEC 5-2
vs. XII 11-3
vs. PAC 4-2

Total 30-17

It's comical today to look back at the freezing cold takes that so many had during those times. Even funnier is the doubling down on those takes today, especially Dan Wolken's take from March arguing that the AAC would be better than the Big East this year. Stu Jackson replied to it today haha. Epic fail.

Bottom line, we have ten, soon to be eleven, schools with strong basketball brands, with passionate fan bases, in big media markets and with a championship history to back it. Many of the "naysayers" were/are fans of schools that are on the outside looking in and are simply envious of the BIG EAST is. We are here to stay, and will only continue to get better over time.

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

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.

Indeed. As of today the Big East WPCT is 79.34%.... the next best F5 league is 74.77%. THAT'S NASTY!!!!!!! This league is killing it


BE -> 79.34%
B12 -> 74.77%
B10 -> 73.53%
ACC -> 73.65% (WEAK! LOL)
P12 -> 74.47%
SEC -> 69.74%

Wait, I forgot about ACC and B1G having played conference games already, which makes total win/loss record deceiving compared to 2017-2018 season.

We done good Big East. Top basketball conference in the country. We done Real Good.

Hey Marquette, GW11, & the rest of the Milwaukee “Big brothers”... Get ready cause we’re coming to take scalps for New Years! You’re on deck.

These are non-conference winnin percentages. Conference games are not take into account

It seems that basically all the B1G teams have a buy game left, and some of the ACC teams do too, so non-conference winning percentages will be a lot closer to final in a week.

Big east teams still have 4-5 buy games left as well in the middle of conference season I think

Tremendous weekend for the league. Was rooting like hell for all our schools. This past weekend was a statement weekend for the Big East for sure. Really looking forward to league play. Gonna be a battle every night.

Congrats to the Big East!
