Sure the SEC is the "belle of the ball" (is there no one prettier?!), but there are other conferences out there. I've been doing a periodic check, and this season has some surprises. A quick glance:
- It looks like Clemson & Virginia are peaking about now. 12 and 9 straight wins respectively. Looking forward to the ACC tourney
- West Virginia, Texas and Ok State are all tied and sitting at the top of the Big 12 for the regular season
- Maryland has got a slim lead in the Big 10 for the regular season
- Stanford has sizeable lead in PAC-12
- UNCW and ECU has it going on. ECU is always going to the post season it seems.
- Dallas Baptist running away with Conf USA
- Wright State and Kent State have sizeable leads in the Horizon and Mid-American conferences respectively
- Indiana State running away with Missouri Valley conference
- Coastal Carolina has a slim lead in the regular season, and a 7 game winning streak in the 14-team Sun Belt
- Penn (6 game winning streak) won the Ivy regular season, and is positioned well to win the conference tourney against Harvard for a regional bid
