There I am Gary Parrish.

Welcome back, CBS Sports, I on college basketball podcast,

where we sometimes discuss Campbell fighting Dodo

Bird's Leaky Black. Matt Norlander is here with me if you're watching on YouTube,

be Brandon Davies. Smash that like button. And if you haven't yet subscribed to the CBS Sports

College Basketball YouTube channel, please also do that while you're here. Let's get into it.

We're obviously coming to you a little earlier than normal

on a Sunday because of a light schedule in the sport today. On some level, I recognize,

very disrespectful to Sunday it's weeks. If Wyoming upsets Texas Tech this afternoon,

rest assured, we will make up for it somehow uh some way but we wanted to go early today

and uh wanted to start by taking a fresh look at at the power conferences now that we are

basically four full weeks into this season norlander the thing among the things i wrote this

weekend is that based on the way i don't know i measure I measure things, regardless of what a computer might say, I don't think any conference is off to a better start than the Big Ten is off to this season. Do you agree or do you want to argue about it? We're going to dive right in. By the way, it's great to see you. We are going early. This 1 p.m. NFL slate is math to say the least. I have no faith in Sundance-Wicks getting it done with his Wyoming Cowboys against Texas Tech and Grant McCastlin. So let's just dive right in. Also, I didn't realize this. My man here, you'd have to be watching on YouTube to be able to get a hold of this. He's rocking a new mic stand. You're not messing around. That might be a new

mic. Is that a new mic? And I think it's a new camera. Are you going brand new on everything?

They sit somebody to my house and they took all my stuff and they put all new stuff in.

Well, I love to see this. Now, here's the next question. We're going to get, I just, I have to address this right off the top. You're not packing this when you go on trips, right? This isn't going to have to go through the TSA situation, I hope, I pray. My up, for, for everybody who's been wondering how my travel situation will be with podcasting equipment. I'm sure that's

what you're here for. Instead of watching Shudur, you're here to find out exactly how I plan to

travel with podcasting equipment. No, everything that is now in here brand new is awesome, could not

be more appreciative, and it will never move. It's going to stay right here, and now I will take different podcasting equipment. It'll just stay in a travel bag. It'll just stay in a suitcase. In fact, I might just leave it in New York City and then just see it when I get there. But I'm excited. It's like Christmas around here. You know, it's like Christmas came early around here. All right. I love to see it, man. You look good. Everything looks amazing there. Let's dive in. So your premise is that the Big Ten is the best league in college basketball right now. Is that your premise or your curiosity? I think that's my premise. I think I've been impressed by no conference as much as I've been impressed by the Big Ten. I can run you through some stuff if you want me to. Let's, you know what, you do that. I've got numbers on all five power leagues. We're going to touch on every single one because as we come to you live here, it is November 30th. We are one full month into the season. And by the way, the net rankings will make their public debut on Monday morning,

December 1st.

So before we get that key metric, yeah, let's do some, let's hash some stuff out.

Let's arbitrate some stuff with all these five leagues because I do think there is a compelling
