Funny the difference a week (or two) makes. About 10 days ago we were reeling from an explicable loss at Gonzaga and Oregon was recovering from a thumping by Michigan State. In terms of top to bottom conference strength, I'd say you're right - and Massey agrees. The only caveats I'd say here are that we got two of three at home (Oregon over MSU and us over Baylor), and one our one road win, Tennessee, I feel like is perennially overrated in the Holly era, and has never really returned to being a "top" team. If anything, what's surprised me so far this season is that UConn and Notre Dame really seem to be a solid tier better than everyone else - again. I've yet to see a team that looks like it would take down UConn in March, but then again, it's December!
