You are right. It is impossible to know how the top teams compare against each other based on conference results. You cant tell if Syracuse is better than Kansas State because they havent played the same teams.

What you can tell is who has played better competition as the results come in. The fact is the 9th,10th, and 11th best teams in the Big East all struggled tonight while the 10th best team in the Big 12 tonight dominated the 10th best team in the Big East on the road.

You can make a case that UConn wasnt up for todays game(doesnt make sense in my mind as they just got destroyed the last time out), Seton Hall had a guy kicked out or South Florida played a hot team. Its not simply these 3 events that sent the alarm bells ringing. If you watched any of the Big East tournament you would know it was the crazy. Three teams most of us considered threats to win it all lost their opening game. Lets just say that I think the Big East results in the postseason have been shocking. And there have been too many of them to simply ignore it.
