So many older players they will be hard to beat.
They have won nothing for 25 years and I’m already sick of them.

No clue. Haven’t played top of league yet. Timing of when they played teams. IDK. Will come down to earth when they face Marquette and UConn no doubt.
All I know is I wouldn’t mind having like 20 Ws and 10 conference W’s on Feb 1 playing in front of huge crowds.

It is what it is.
At least with the Giants you've seen 3x Super Bowl Ws than those farther south on I-95. Go Chiefs!!!
"Wild stuff.
Only 1 quad one win
We had what 7 quad one wins last year?"
We had five last year (six including Indiana State).
On February 1, 2024 we had four -- UConn and Marquette at home and Providence and Butler on the road. We also had a Q3 home loss that they don't have (all three of their losses are Q1). The worst thing you can say about them is they've lost to three top 40 NET teams.
The BE back loaded their schedule as they often do with the better teams. They have UConn and Marquette twice plus a trip to Villanova and a home game with Creighton.
They aren't helped by the fact that the BE is markedly weaker than it was even last year. SJU hasn't played a Q1 game since January 7. Meanwhile they have five BE Q3 wins -- four at home and us.
They'll be fine.

Here is the rankings from the Big East coaches preseason poll:
Coaches’ Preseason Poll
1. UConn (10) 100
2. Creighton 84
3. Xavier 82
4. Marquette (1) 74
5. St. John’s 70
6. Providence 54
7. Villanova 44
8. Butler 36
9. Georgetown 25
10. Seton Hall 24
11. DePaul 12
First place votes in parentheses
The bottom 2 right now are the same projected (us/Depaul). Butler is barely above that and so probably has underperformed a bit compared to expectations.
You have a "glut" of 5-6 teams right now with X, Prov, Nova and Gtown. We will see how that shakes out ultimately compared to the preseason projections, but seems Xavier has underperformed and Gtown has overperformed. Xavier though has already played Uconn twice, Marquette twice, St. John's twice and Creighton once. So they have an opportunity to really separate here from that pack with the remainder of their schedule.
I think Uconn or Marquette will finish 1/2 and Creighton/St. John's 3/4.
