UConn may not win the conference, but they won't end up next to the bottom. Oh ye of little faith. Go Huskies!

    There is NO WAY Rutgers will win the conference. I'll go with WVU, followed by Cincinnati and South Florida. Rutgers may do as well as fourth. LET'S GO MOUNTAINEERS

        Pitt gets better every week. They still have a ways to go to be in the Elite of college football, but it's as good as it gets for any of the Big East teams this year. and I love my Big East, but all the teams are weak and boring, they remind me off the ACC! HA!

          Gee Russ, You MUST be from either the Big 10 or 12 to say the Big East teams are weak.  The 06 Fiesta Bowl is still fresh in my mind.  OU didn't belong on the same field as WVU that game.  The Ohio State legacy is dead this year.  Maybe they should apply for an easier conference...maybe the WAC?  The BE isn't the SEC caliber but I'd like to see Cincy, Pitt, South FL, or WVU go up against any of them.

            How can anyone say that Rutgers will win the Big East..........? That is absurd. Rutgers just can't do it...Watch out for WVU...I'm telling you They will win out this seaon and that will wrap it all up. That back up at Cincy can't keep getting lucky..He's just not that good. Plain and simple. Pitt....Any WVU/Pitt game is crazy anyway and the eers will come out on top of that one.....No one else can contend. I wish for Jaz sake that if my eers couldn't win it...I would love to see UConn win it. It was such a classy tribute at WVU this past weekend, the way that the dedicated, hardcore Mountaineer fans paid tribute to this fine young man. I am glad to hear that an arrest was made in the murder. Good job to law enforcement in Conn. If my son couldn't be a mountaineer...I would want Randy Edsell to coach him....He's a good man and caring and full of emotion. God Bless you all in UConn. A true Mountaineer fan....
