Welcome back to the 2010-2011 Big East Power Rankings. The rules are simple, we've invited the SB Nation (or friend of SB Nation) blog for each team to cast a vote. They rank the teams from one to 16 and then we bring you the results. Many thanks to The UConn Blog as always for hosting.
I had a chat with a co-worker yesterday about college basketball and how the BEAST was the best conference in the country by far. Or at least I tried to. His argument was, the 2nd place team already has 3 losses, there are no good teams.
Yeah, sure. Nevermind the fact that we own 4 of the Top 10 teams in the country, and 6 of the Top 12. Lately, it feels like we might as well flip a coin when any team with a winning conference record matches up with another. Any of the Top 10 teams in the conference are considered 'quality' wins by almost everyone in the country.
