basketball and has been the top league in basketball for a number of years now. Another coworker (a Purdue alum) countered saying that the Big Ten is just as good as the SEC. I found it interesting neither brought up the Big 12. I piped in and said both conferences are good, but the Big 12 is the top. The Tennessee alum responded by saying "who do they even have"? I said, Kansas, Houston, Arizona, Texas Tech, Baylor, Cincinnati, Oklahoma St., and then said there are currently 5 Big 12 teams in the top 12. He says "yeah, I guess they are pretty good". The one thing we could all agree on is that the ACC is a shell of its former self in basketball.
