Big East Football

Rutgers is still undefeated but I don't expect them to stay that way. This week they play Cincinnati on the road and this could be a trap game since Cincinnati is better than many realize. If Rutgers gets past Cincinnati - then they still have to get past West Virginia who I see as still the best team in the Big East.

Even though Big East teams are ranked 7th, 8th and 12th in the USA Today rankings - many people still don't respect Big East football. Personally, I do respect these programs very much but I do admit to being curious how these three teams (West Virginia, Rutgers and Louisville) will do in the bowl games. If they go 3-0 or even 2-1 - look for the respect to be there in the polls next year.

In fact - if West Virginia wins out and wins their bowl game - look for the Mountaineers to be the pre-season #1 in the country.
