And if the good old boys keep their teams in the big game we'll never know will we? Let's play on the field and not in the polls. LOL, somewhere deep inside I know you realize these things you say about Big East teams are ridiculous. Why? You assume it to be not true. Why does Michigan get a chance to play Ohio State twice? These teams play just 12 games, how do they get a chance for a rematch? Let someone else get their shot. Just tell me that. I tell you what. If the Big East wants to be considered on the same level as the SEC, Big 10, and Pac 10, then do what everyone has done to raise their level of respect. Start scheduling games against Ohio State. Start scheduling games against USC, Florida, Michigan. Start actually beating the best on a regular basis, and you might get more respect. The Big East is not considered a power conference. The onus is on THEM to prove otherwise, not the rest of the country.
