RE: November basketball- Big East is #1.

The new BE has many of their teams with similar records right now due to the same scheduling model, but only two teams ranked and none higher than Villanova (AP #10). Villanova hasn't been much in the postseason lately.
There truly is nothing more meaningless than the polls in November. They are a survey of opinions and favor team's past reputations.
Check any of the power ratings and they will show 6 Big East teams projected to go to the tournament based on the early results. If the Big East keeps this up in December, they will be a factor in March because November/December is where selections and seedings are determined. After that, teams are just knocking each other off in conference.
