are u serious… do you ever read about or watch college football… pretty much everyone said the big east has passed up the ACC in football. for the small amount of teams in the conference, the big east sure had many of them in the rankings this year. hell if not for pitt a big east team would be in the national championship… you can’t say it was because of a bad conference either… they play one more non conference game than most. If you ask me there wasn’t ANY dominate team or conference in college football this year.
The Big 10 has rather consistently had teams that have performed quite well against any conference. It will be interesting to see how they fare this year in the bowls seeing as how almost the entire conference is playing in them.
The Big East has been touted this year but who exactly have they been beating? Cincinnati and Connecticut have supposedly risen to greatness however who exactly have they played aside from other overrated Big East teams? The only suposedly good teams they beat are other Big East teams that were far from proven. Rutgers and Louisville have had flashes of becoming something but have not strung together anything worth noting and have not shown much. South Florida showed they were nothing to take serious either.
i believe the big east has a winning record against the big 10 all-time.
the two noteable wins of non conference opponants this year would be:oregon st and auburn. the big ten… they didnt beat ANYONE that was really decent… hell, they didnt even play anyone… their non conference this year was laughable… basically the conference beat up on notre dame…
