Perhaps if Syracuse was in Conference USA, they'd have the same record as Memphis and vice versa. That doesn't mean they are better. I don't think the Big East is nearly as strong as you seem to think it is. It's evenly matched with good teams but none of them outside of Pitt and UConn do I think are even remote threats to reach the Final Four.

The reason it makes sense here is that we are talking about knocking down a Big East team from a #1 for Memphis when Memphis has played four games against Big East teams, only one of which was on the road, against the 7th, 9th, 11th, and 13th place teams in the league and only went 2-2.
