NCAA Basketball: AAC and Big Ten highlight this week’s Sunday Mailbag

The NCAA Basketball season was already going crazy, but this week things got a little bit crazier. There is so much parity this year and there is only one excellent team who is likely going to be No. 1 next week. Outside of the Baylor Bears, no one seems to want to take care of their business as the No. 1 team in the country. Everyone has been taking losses to lesser opponents all year. Given the overall strength of some of the top mid-majors and the weaknesses of so many teams in the power conferences, that parity should continue throughout the season.

The Sunday Mailbag received a total of six questions this week, all of them are from fan interactions. A lot of questions this week are from readers we have not heard from before. The questions this week look at a lot of future projections for non-power five teams and non-power five conferences.

There are two questions that do look at the future of the Big Ten. These were all fun to answer and some of them took some research and some bold predictions from me to answer the questions effectively. Keep in mind that the answers to these questions are based on the data we currently have on December 12th, 2021. Things are subject to change especially as teams get better throughout the year.

I close with this every week, thank you to everyone who has ever read an article, submitted a question, or interacted with me on social media. You are all very much appreciated, and it never goes unnoticed. Without those interactions, this article would not be possible, and I really enjoy doing it every single week. The questions for this week are below.
