March Madness: Power Conferences

Much has been written about the power conferences vs. mid-majors. And much more will be written today. By my math, here is how the Power Conferences faired in the tourney:

ACC:
4 teams
6-2 record
2 Teams in Sweet 16

Big 10:
6 teams
3-6 record
0 Teams in Sweet 16

Big 12:
4 teams
3-3 record
1 Team in Sweet 16

Big East:
8 teams
8-5 record
3 Teams in Sweet 16

Pac-10:
4 teams
5-2 record
2 Teams in Sweet 16

SEC:
6 teams
7-4 record
2 Teams in Sweet 16

So, the MVC landed as many teams in the Sweet 16 as the SEC, Pac 10 and ACC and more than the Big 10 or Big 12. Add to them the Colonial's entry (George Mason) and the Patriot League's entry (Bucknell) into the 3rd round, and it begs the question....doesn't Packer owe someone an apology?
