Conference Survival Chart

by BirdGT on Mar 19, 2010 10:30 AM EDT

The ACC and Big 10 were relatively inactive while the Big 12 showed us what we all knew at From the Rumble Seat - the Big 12 is tough. The Big East, as expected, fell on its face. To Hell with the Big East. They should've been 0-4 if not for some ridiculously cheap fouls called against Robert Morris. My personal wish list for the tournament now (not necessarily good for my bracket) is to see the entire SEC and Big East out by the 3rd round. Here's the conference win percentages thus far:

I didn't count Tennessee as an SEC team yesterday so I fixed that. I blame ESPN because they had multiple sources reporting only 3 SEC teams in the tournament. After hearing the "Jon Dwyer has zero career fumbles" stat several times on ESPN, I should've known to double check all of their stats.

Interesting stat o' the day. Midmajors beat eachother up in my chart above. So if you actually just counted the games midmajors played against Major conferences, the midmajors racked up a 4-6 record. Booyah. That's not too bad. Here's the updated conference survival percentages. Midmajors took a hit. The SEC and Big East took bigger hits.

Yeah my only bracket regret so far is failing to predict Vandy's SEChoke.

Love the new tagline. Recommending it include a misspelling to accompany its punctuation and capitalization errors.

I think the tag line needs something along the lines of...

“At least our campus doesn’t look like this on gamedays…”

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.

Of course, ours looks like this from time to time:

How do we see the colors changing

on this chart by the end of this weekend? Any predictions?

let's look at today first

I see the Big East losing possibly one more today finishing first round 4-4. The ACC and Big 12 are matched up in 2 games and it could swing either way for them. I think Big 10 has it easy today so we should see them take more area in the survival chart.
