Conference Performance

Just how bad did the mightly Big East do this weekend?

Well...if you go by the NCAA seedings, they should have won 14 games this last weekend. This math assumes a team seeded 5-8 would win one game, and a team seeded 1-4 would win two games. The 11 Big East teams should have won 14 games. Instead, they won 8.

A breakdown by conference of those expected to win or wining a game (I've ignored the first four games, it's difficult to apply this math to those games):

Conf / Exp Wins / Act Wins / Diff
ACC / 4 / 6 / 2
A-10 / 2 / 3/ 1
B12 / 6 / 4 / -2
BigEast / 14 / 8 / -6
Colonial / 1 / 4 / 3
Horizon / 1 / 2 / 1
MtW / 5 / 4 / 1
Ohio / 0 / 1 /  1
Pac10 / 3 / 4 / 1
SEC / 5 / 4 / -1
WCC / 0 / 1 / 1

There are three conferences that under-performed: SEC, Big 12 and Big East. Everyone else met or exceeded expectations.
