Any given year, sure, the WCC fluctuates between the 8th and 10th best conference over the past 10-15 years, with occasional dips (that coincide with Gonzaga getting seeded lower than they think they should). This year, though, the conference is actually pretty decent overall, and with the ACC in particular so down (I included that comparison because they are the worst "Power" conference this year), the gap is lesser than usual between them and the ACC/Pac-12.In an typical year the AAC is nowhere near as bad as it is this year. But even if the WCC is better than the AAC this year, that doesn't somehow make it good. It's still a lot of uncompelling games and I legitimately think that makes it difficult to fairly evaluate a team like Gonzaga. And I also legitimately find it odd that so many great recruits would choose Gonzaga over similarly high-level programs that play in more big games throughout the season for the sake of exposure.
But overall, there isn't much difference between watching Gonzaga beat every team in their conference by 30 and, say, Duke doing the same to the ACC this year.
