Meh. I never bought into that talk. Lots of parity. I think parity is a good thing
You could just as easily say the Top 25 is bad this year with no traditional powers like Duke, Kentucky, MSU, UNC? Indiana? Louisville, UConn? Cuse?
Is Bubble weak because B1G is so good?
Is any bubble with Maryland, Indiana, Duke, UNC, Louisville and MSU really that weak?
I think you can make a decent bubble with all of the remaining:
Try to separate Xavier, SHU and UConn?
Try to separate Boise, Colorado State, and Utah State?
Try to separate VCU, Richmond, St. Louis, Davidson?
Try to separate Wichita, SMU and Memphis?
So I think any weak bubble talk is just that.
I guess you could make the argument with no Automatic qualifier from the Ivy that the Bubble has one more team. However I suppose one can also argue that one more bubble team is the better than the Ivy champ.
