Has to be the big ten.  They were bad last year and not many teams got better.

Big Ten has two teams...that's it.  MSU and IU will be good, the rest of the conference is in shambles.

After this season of College football so far, i see a very similar result for the Big Ten in bball...falling off the map and not being talked about unless it's saying how bad they are.

Big Ten will still be OK. Michigan State has Izzo, Badgers have Bo, Ohio State played in title game, Indiana and Illinois are formidable. Big Ten football, on the other hand, is as bad as it gets.

Indiana?  Well they graduated 57 points a game and 5 of their top 6 scorers.
OSU, yes and how many starters from that championship squad have returned?
The badgers and Illinois are returning no one who had over 10 points per game last year.
Yes they will have 1 or 2 pretty good teams and a few teams that might be 12 seeds but that is a terrible year for them.

well i guess the cusa is the worst but if we eliminate them from this topic and only consider major conferences, i would say, from a basketball standpoint, the pac-10 is the worst.   they play boring basketball and have boring teams/schools.  ucla is the only elite team.  who knows what happened to arizona.  usc could be good.  otherwise i dont even know any other teams in the boring pac10. 

the big 10/11 wont be as bad as we all think but the front runners are definetly msu and iu.  should be interesting to see if a team like purdue or wisconsin can make some noise.


considering both basketball and football, i would say (again eliminating the cusa) that the big10/11 will be the worst at least this year.  the pac 10 may be the second strongest football conference.  (SEC, PAC-10, Big East)  the sec is always tough in football, and basketball they are okay but the big east is much better.

strange.. at least 2 people have voted CUSA the best conference in the other poll...
