Predicting the 2016-17 Big East College Basketball Standings

It will never be the "Old" Big East again, but this conference will be more loaded for the 2016-17 college basketball season than it has been since dropping down to 10 teams several years ago.

Villanova repeating as national champions is a strong possibility, as is Xavier dethroning the Wildcats to grab its first conference title since leaving the A-10. Creighton and Georgetown have both been heralded as sexy sleepers, but Marquette might be the actual sleeper in a Big East that could legitimately send seven teams to the NCAA tournament.

We scoured the rosters and offseason "transactions" to make an educated guess at each team's primary eight-man rotation and where it will stack up against every other team in the Big East.
