A great deal of debate occurs each year with regard to which conferences are truly the best. There is no better stage to prove this than at the NCAA tournament. I have calculated the winning percentages and overall conference records based on the teams in the NCAA tournament and have placed the results below. Results are based on the 1st and 2nd rounds. I will continue to update these results after additional rounds are completed.
Big East (7 Teams)

Rd 2: 5-1, 83% Overall 11-2, 85% 5 Sweet Sixteen, 5/7 or 71%

I am a Big East hater but the numbers don't lie. The Big 10 struggled and I don't think anyone is suprised. Weak conference in my opinion. The Big 12 is the curious conference. I think they are pretty tough. SEC was bad, I still think that their seeding plays a factor in that. LSU the SEC's best team got an 8 seed which gives them a crack at #1 UNC. I think LSU could have been a sweet sixteen team.
