I beg to differ, the Big East has been one of the premier football conferences in the country over the past 25 years....thought they fall on tough times (as all teams and conferences do....cough, ACC, cough)....

We forget that WVU is one of the more storied teams in big east history...

We also forget all the teams that jumped shipped to the ACC 2 years ago, and left the Big East scrambling to realign....

Teams like Pitt, WVU, Louisville, and oh my gosh Rutgers, (i ommitted Cuse due to the lack of a program since the departure of some qb who wore number 5) are quality programs... I think the debate seems to be as one confrence is easily contested between two team (we call it a weak confrence, or its in an off year)....

But lets be honest....the Big 12 is like that every year with Texas and Oklahoma, with everyone else playing catch up.....(same in big east)

Acc is a mess this year

Big Ten - same quality teams, two clear cut favorites, and a bunch of crab from 6 and down....


SEC - I wish we could rename this the toss up confrence, because every year its in question until the final game of the regular season , and then the championship game, which never goes how it should (or at least according to my odds maker)....


Should be an amazing finish..... OSU V. LOUISVILLE

Eh, we still have 5 teams in the top 25 (BCS & AP), even if it is in the lower half.

I was referring to the lack of a TOP 10 Team - a team contending for a national championship...you can have the Outback, Gator, Peach, whatever....BSC is what it really comes down to......

Yeah...that offsides messed up the entire line and caused about 5 guys worth of pressure...understandable he had to kick away from it. Had he not done it...I feel he woulda kicked it.

I totally agree... wow, what a game. They still have to get through West Virginia in Morgantown, but they proved a lot to the country tonight. Their special teams was horrendous in the first half, but that defense and Ray Rice carried them to the win. Congrats to Rutgers.

Oh, and can anyone fill me in on that ridiculous air guitar the band and crowd were doing?
