seriously, who is the best team in the big east? that's definitely going to be the tallest midget. It is down right now but the difference with the BE and the other BCS conferences is that a BE team will travel to a non BCS team while the others will not. WVU lost at ECU, USF went to UCF and won in OT in an emotional end of a series game. texas went to utep, minnesota went to bowling green, aTm went to new mexico, arkansas went to la-monroe, maryland went to middle tennessee st., texas tech went to nevada. that's 3 big east teams, 1 sec team, 1 big ten team and 1 acc team. last week va tech, mississippi st and boston college did it. next week ucla, arizona and wisconsin are doing it. so i'd say that whatever point you were trying to make isn't a good one. My point is EVERY BE team does it. Let me know when OSU, Penn St, Michigan, LSU, USC, Georgia do and it isn't on a neutral field. How about this year and next when OSU is playing USC on a home and home. How about OSU doing it a few years ago with Texas? I challenge you to find an OOC game for an upper echelon Big East that was just as difficult as that.
