Yep and that's why Selfs' 9 (10 probably) Big 12 championships are totally amazing.

Jimmy Dykes said Embiid is the best player in the country, Bill Walton called Embiid a "sports changer" tonight. Dykes also believes KU and Arizona are the best two teams in the country.

The B10 over the same time period was 5th, 5th, 4th, 1st, 1st, 1st, and 1st (2.57). The BE was 4th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 3rd, 2nd, and 3rd (3.00). The ACC was 3rd, 3rd, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 4th, and 4th (3.57). The P10 was 2nd, 1st, 6th, 5th, 8th, 3rd, and 5th (4.29). The SEC was 6th, 6th, 5th, 7th, 4th, 7th, and 6th (5.86). Please stop trying to diminish KU's accomplishments over this time period. What you're saying makes no sense. Other than the B10 in recent years, the B12 has consistently been as strong a basketball conference as any in the country. |

And if you don't trust KenPom's efficiency numbers, here are the conference rankings over the same time using Sagarin:
B12 was 2nd, 2nd, 1st, 3rd, 2nd, 3rd, and 2nd (2.14). B10 was 6th, 1st, 4th, 2nd, 1st, 1st, and 1st (2.28). BE was 3rd, 4th, 3rd, 1st, 3rd, 2nd, and 4th (2.86). P10 was 1st, 3rd, 6th, 5th, 6th, 5th, and 3rd (4.14). ACC was 4th, 5th, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 5th (4.43). SEC was 5th, 6th, 5th, 6th, 4th, 7th, and 6th (5.57). |

It would be interesting to see those numbers if you exclude KU.

I bet it's an overall average higher than the impact that the top teams have on the other conferences. Partly because we tend to be ranked very, very highly in Kenpom. |

Eliminate TCUs and TTs for a pure numbers increase.
As I said, though, I'm more interested in just how MUCH better KU is than the rest of the Big 12. I suspect that KU is better than the rest of the Big 12 to a greater degree than other top programs are better than their respective conferences. And that's not a slight on the Big 12. It's just that KU has been THAT GOOD. You don't get to be the winningest team in the past decade by accident. |

Try answering my question next time. I said how come the Big 12 schools aren't ever on the right side of luck? You responded only with KU. Completely avoiding the point. (Incidentally KU is neither lucky nor unlucky over the long haul or under Self) Quote:
You said "Since Self arrived". I wasn't aware he arrived in 2008. But now I know. |

Lol yeah I remember him saying that in 07-08. He has an obsession for the SEC and UK.
