The Real Prestige Rankings: Part I

T-9) Sacred Heart – 0 (T-273, DNQ)

T-9) Saint Francis (PA) – 0 (T-273, T-276)

The Northeast Conference consistently supplies the NCAA tournament with No. 16 seeds and had not had a first round tournament win to date. 

The discrepancy between the ranking systems can be seen clearly with Monmouth and Farleigh Dickinson.  ESPN gives these teams credit for beating up on their conference foes, which are clearly among the weakest in Division 1.  None of these teams have had tournament success to speak of.

29)  Atlantic Sun Conference – Average Score:  4.67

1) East Tennessee State – 44 (T-126, T-82)
