Big East Football

Post by hilltoppanther »

After Rutgers beat WVU, Cincy beat Rutgers, and now South Florida beat WVU, many across the country are saying, "I told you so." about the Big East.

Sure I am a bit bias when it comes to the Big East, but I have a different take on it. I think the Big East is getting better (other than Pitt). The Big East is creating depth.

When such things happen in the Big 11, everyone says that the teams are beating up on each other because there is so much depth in that conference.

Is the Big East improved? I say yes. Look at our worst team, Syracuse, nearly beating Iowa this year. That game does not fully answer the question but it does show that maybe the gap is not that big.

For a conference that just lost three of its top programs, the Big East is doing quite well. How well? I guess we will have to wait and see how they fair in their bowl games.

Big East is a tough confrence now
WVU and Rutgers and Louisville are cream of the crop with USF showing they can play with the big boys

Pitt's recruiting will have them up there sooner then later

Cincinnati has a good coach and UConn now has 1st rate facilities

Syracuse is a mystery to me but they will be back within a couple years


Big East is tough and will be incredible next season

predictions 2007
1.WVU-White and Slaton will be back
2. Louisvile-Brian Brohm should come back
3. USF-their Qb is only a frosh.
4. Rutgers-Ray Rice is a serious Heisman contender
5.Pitt-all the skill positions are back?Bostick is the new QB
6.Cincinnati-D'Antonio is a good defensive coach
7. UConn-DJ Hernandez to Kanuch????
8.Syracuse-still slumping....

You guys are crazy. Petrino and Rodriguez are the most overrated coaches in BCS football, and the Cincinnati coach is already being considered for other jobs. Plus, Jim Levitt cannot decide if he's a good coach or not. The Big East continues to be what it has been: a conference that everyone prays will pick it up, but just disappoints.

And PS, Pitt's recruiting wont do them any good if the games continue to be played on the field, and last time I checked, there's no plans to change that concept.
