The Big East Stinks

Saturday 9/5/09 - Len

To put it the most brief I can, The Big East STINKS in Football. Here is the AP Top 25 Poll for the Season's first week:

1) Florida (SEC)

2) Texas (Big XII)

3) Oklahoma (Big XII)

4) USC (Pac 10)

5) Alabama (SEC)

6) Ohio St. (Big 10)

7) Virginia Tech (ACC)

8) Ole Miss (SEC)

9) Oklahoma State (Big XII)

10) Penn State (Big 10)

11) LSU (SEC)

12) Cal (Pac 10)

13) Georgia (SEC)

14) Boise St. (WAC)

15) Ga. Tech (ACC)

16) Oregon (Pac 10)

17) TCU (Mountain West)

18) Florida State (ACC)

19) Utah (Mountain West)

20) Brigham Young (Mountain West)

21) North Carolina (ACC)

22) Iowa (Big 10)

23) Notre Dame (Independent)

24) Nebraska (Big 12)

25) Kansas (Big 12)

By Conference:

SEC- 5, Big XII- 5, Big 10- 3, ACC- 4, Pac 10- 3, Mountain West- 3, Independent 1, WAC- 1

BIG EAST- 0

So far in this early season, only three Big East teams have player. West Virginia and Pittsburgh came up victorious, while Syracuse fell short.

The season is still young, so there is a chance that you can see teams like Louisville, Rutgers, West Virginia, Southern Florida, UConn, and Pittsburgh possibly crack the Top 25. This will especially be the case when conference like the SEC and Big XII start beating up on each other (each has 5 representatives in the Top 25).

Regardless of this, it is still disappointing to see no Big East representatives in the Top 25. But don't worry, once the hardwood is polished, I guarantee you that will change.
