Its clearly not the same thing when a mid-major beats a BCS school in basketball.

Okie Chippewa Wrote:Interesting how few wins the MAC has on this ever expanding list. One question right now is whether MAC hoops will wind up with more BCS wins (currently at 3) than MAC football (currently at 5 with two games left).

well, we (Ohio) will certainly try our best to add to this list in our next three games (versus the ACC, Big 12, and Big East) but i can't promise positive results! i'll be hoping like heck, though!

Maryland is a young team and Ohio an experienced team. If Bobcats can handle the Maryland press they have a chance. Leon will be pumped as he is from Baltimore and this game is for him. Hope he can stay out of foul trouble and rule the paint. Maryland has great athletes. They have a couple of shooters, but not a great shooting team overall.

It doesn't have quite the impact, still though when Gardiner Webb beats a traditional powerhouse like Kentucky; it's monumental.

Add Xavier over Cincinnati .......Cincinnati is gonna be a common win this year.

Surely this quote wasn't made on December 12th.

touche!

Maryland is not a very good team this year with 5 or 6 losses already, but this is a HUGE win for Ohio!

Maryland tends to play a lot of patsies at home and that is why their home OOC record is so good. They did lose to VCU earlier this year in a "home game" but it was played at the Verizon Center in DC rather than on their home court. They had a 2 point overtime victory over someone on their home court earlier in the season.....can't remember who but I don't think they are very good.


That said, this is a good win for Ohio and the MAC. Beating a team like Maryland means more, despite their record. It's the whole name recognition thing.

CONGRATS OHIO U!! Love it.

It's like BG beating MN in football this season. I don't care what MN's record was or how bad they were...they are a Big Ten team and it was a road game.

Way to go, 'Cats.

MAC wins vs rpi top 100 thru 12/29/2007
13 total
Miami wins over Xavier, South Alabama, Illinois
Kent State wins over Illinois State, George Mason, Cleveland State
Akron wins over Temple, Austin Peavy
Buffalo wins over South Florida, Tulane
Toledo win over Missouri State
EMU win over Illinois State
WMU win over Southern Illinois

These will change as teams will move in and out of top 100 list.

I fear a lot of this list will slip as they aren't the cream of the crop in their leagues.

Memphis is nowhere in that list.. that I could see.. so U are missing a few games. they win 4 or 5 depending of if U count georgetown.

Fixed. Now if Memphis fans get mad because I've associated them with the other winning teams on this list, it's your fault

It is only a Football Group that Should be Abolished

Two terms I hate are BCS relating to Division 1 Basketball

or Mid-major. By using either term you are doing to basketball

what 1A and 1AA did in Football. There are many programs in

the bottom half of the sec, big east, PAc 10, Big 12, Big 10 and ACC

That would get beat quite often as your list of wins shows.

Thread Title changed; is that better?

The BCS matters to basketball. If you think otherwise, you're deluding yourself.

There are 6 BCS conferences and 65 NCAA b-ball births. Last year BCS conference teams filled 34 births while the 25 non-bcs conferences got 31. Labeling it something else or not at all isn't going to change this.

That's six at-large births for the non-BCS schools, kids. Six.

Of the schools currently comprising the Bowl Championship Series conferences, only one has won a championship in the last 50 years or so. There is a divide.

Its a growing divide too.

Prior to the realignment, CUSA was close in strength and tradition to other BCS conferences.

What the BCS has done is its centralized the money and power in a few conferences that comprise almost all of the major athletic colleges. That money is what helps BCS conferences keep their edge over the remainder of D1.

That being said, I don't understand how the A-10 and MVC are able to do what the MAC can't, that is earn multiple bids to the NCAA tourney every year. The financial support at a few of those schools (Creighton, Dayton, Xavier come to mind) is enough to make them nationally competitive.

The amonut of schools with the resources to compete hasn't changed. What has changed is they all now play in a few select conferences.

KC, are the A10 & Valley D1 football conferences? There is your answer.

Gooch Wrote:KC, are the A10 & Valley D1 football conferences? There is your answer.

What about the Southern Conference and the Big West? They don't have FBS football and they have lousy basketball too.

Whether you have D1 football or not doesn't appear to have much to do with it (Memphis for example).

What is more important is to have a revenue generating basketball program that will pay for better coaches.

MAC schools do not bring in the revenue in basketball. Season ticket bases are very low and attendance counted is mostly from students.
