It's a sportsnation poll...so take it for what is worth (nothing). But its nice to see that the perception of the strength of the BEast hasn't dropped off that much, despite the split. As I am posting this, we are currently ranked third.
"The landscape of college sports is always changing, and as of July 1, change took effect in college basketball. Conference realignment became official, sending a number of schools from one league to another. Most notably, Syracuse, Notre Dame, and Pittsburgh are taking their talents to the ACC, and the Catholic 7 are seceding from the Big East to form the American Athletic Conference. With all the moving and shaking over with, at least for now, which conferences will face the stiffest competition during the 2013-14 season?"
Sigh.

To be fair, ESPN is only the worldwide leader in sports...

Wow, they couldn't even get it right, the so-called Catholic 7 is part of the NEW Big East not the AAC.
The only thing worse than SportsNation's polls are SportsNation's "talent."
Big East is doing pretty well in third.
A10 and CUSA shouldn't even be listed anymore.

That's pathetic. What a joke.
Had to put the AAC 10th.
