Haha. Albany SHOULD win the... American East? Conference. #1 seed.

OSU... No way. Big Ten teams can only win on their home courts. As soon as they play a tough team without their home crowd, they crawl into the fetal position. Which is why a 4-loss in-conference team won the league out right. Pathetic that they are the #1 ranked conference based on RPI. How the Big East fell to 4th is beyond me (South Florida is single-handedly killing the RPI, at #227)... UConn and Nova are #1/2 in both polls and #2/3 in RPI, with Nova within .01 of Duke for #1.
