Conference Survival Chart

Last College Hoops Tournament and College World Series, I kept up with conference records and the conference survival percentage throughout the whole tournament. I'm gonna do the same for hoops this season. Basically, I'll just keep a running tally of the game results for each conference like below:

And I'll also keep a Risk or Civilization-esque histograph of who's making up the field in the tournament by date:

Obviously, the midmajors screw themselves because they beat eachother as well as major conference teams but I'm not really too concerned with the midmajors (hence the lumping of them all into one big group). This is about conference pride not individual versus individual.

That's a broad MidMajor group

Maybe you should differentiate between “MidMajors” and what I like to think of as “LowMinors” – Automatic qualifiers seeded 13/14 and higher who are expected to do nothing. That way you can get an idea of how teams like Gonzaga, St. Mary’s, and Old Dominion are doing.

To HELL with georgia!

yeah

I may break it down more…we’ll see. There are a couple of midmajor conferences with as many or more bids than Pac 10 so they probably deserve to be listed. I’ll see how the first few days shakes out ‘cause I don’t want 12 or 13 different color bars, then it’d be chaos.

I spun around... and there I was, face-to-face with a six-year old kid. Well, I just threw my guns down and walked away. Little bastard shot me in the ass.

THE CONFERENCE SURVIVAL GUIDE ROCKS

Thank you for putting that together. The color bars will be a lot easier for me to see than the fine print in the newspaper not to mention having to figure the percentages myself. You have done a service to mankind.

FILE -- This is an Oct. 18, 2008 file photo showing Connecticut corner back Jasper Howard (6) trying to get the crowd into the game during the fourth quarter of an NCAA college football game against Rutgers, in Piscataway, N.J.   Jasper Howard had his little sisters' names tatooed on his chest. His friends say it was a constant reminder of why he was at U Conn _ to provide his family with a better life than the one he had in Miami's Little Haiti. (AP Photo/Mel Evans, File) link
