On the other site, someone said that the first 3 years of the New Big East is at least the Equal of the last 3 years of the Old Big East. Used Sagarin Ratings to defend this...

I looked at the average Ken Pom ratings from the last 6 years....
2016 .7449
2015 .7503
2014 .7184
----------------
2013 .7639
2012 .7659
2011 .8027

average KP rating from 1st 3 years- .7348
Average KP rating from last 3 years of OBE- .7837

Definitely 2014 hurts NBE and 2011 helps the OBE. So lets take out those 2 years...
2015-16 .7476
2012-13 .7649

That's a pretty big difference there....

Now though, lets look at top 20 teams
2015-16- 2 teams
2014-15 2 teams
2013-14 1 team
------------------------
2012-13 4 teams
2011-12 4 teams
2010-11 5 teams(plus #21)

so last 3 years have had 5 top 20 teams combined. last 3 years of the old big east had 13 top 20 teams combined. You say well that's because there were more teams...
5/30- 16.7%
13/47- 27.7%

people say well the OBE had more dregs
sub 100 teams
2015-16 2 teams
2014-15 3 teams
2013-14 2 teams
-------------------------
2012-13 5 teams
2011-12 4 teams
2010-11 2 teams

NBE 7/30- 23.3%
OBE 11/47- 23.4%

And that gets before the most obvious thing....
titles- OBE 2 NBE 0
final 4's- OBE 4 NBE 0
Elite 8's- OBE 6 NBE 0
sweet 16's- OBE 9 NBE 1
(now true, NBE can tie/take lead for sweet 16 and actually take the elite 8 lead this year- but that's not going to happen..)
I would really love to have some of what they were smoking there.
