I like Luke Winn and think he is pretty unbiased, but this article is really depressing.

The article looks backwards, not forward.

no arguing his data...it's just useless in predicting the future...

I wonder what a "basketball-only" conference like this would rank in his conference power rankings: Georgetown, Villanova, St. John's, Providence, Seton Hall, Marquette, DePaul, Xavier, Dayton, Butler, St. Louis and Creighton?

And, since this is hypothetical, I wonder what a Jesuit conference with Marquette, Georgetown, St. Joseph's, Fordham, Xavier, Detroit Mercy, St. Louis, Creighton, Gonzaga, Santa Clara, Loyola Marymount, and San Francisco
would have ranked?
