1. WVU - One more game from playing for the BCS Title.
2A. South Florida
2B. Cincinnati
4. UConn
5. Rutgers
6. Pittsburgh
7A. Syracuse
7B. Louisville

My rankings are based on how I think things would pan out on a neutral field... not necessarily based on wins/losses this season.

1. WVU
2. Cincinnati
3. South Florida
4. Rutgers
5. UConn
6. Louisville
7. Pittsburgh
8. Syracuse

By the way, this is the first time I've done one of these all year.

Big East Standings
TEAM CONF. W-L OVERALL W-L
West Virginia 5-1 10-1
Connecticut 5-2 9-3
Cincinnati 4-3 9-3
South Florida 4-3 9-3
Rutgers 3-3 7-4
Louisville 2-4 5-6
Pittsburgh 2-4 4-7
Syracuse 1-6 2-10

The official BE standing. All other rankings mean squat!

This is why they play the game. Teams are judged over the entire season, not one game.

I would have to go

1.WVU-obviously
2-3.UC-USF-to close to say who is better
4.UCONN-great season but looked horrible today
5.Rutgers-Has good wins, but also bad losses
6.UL-most dissapointing team in the big east, maybe in the country
7.Pitt-LeSean McCoy is a monster
8.Cuse-get GRob out of there now

1. WVU. The BE championship still comes thru Morgantown, folks.
2. USF
3. UC
4. UCONN
5. Rutgers
6. Louisville
7. Pittsburgh
8. Syracuse

If you are judging teams by the whole season then you would have to put cincy in front of Uconn. Both are 9-3 and Cincy beat uconn pretty bad. By basing it off BE standings you are not judging them by the whole season but by the mere fact that Uconn got their third loss to a mediocre OOC opponent and Cincy got their third loss to a mediocre in conference opponent. I fail to see how that would make Uconn a better team than Cincy.

You made my point for me. If you don't see your own point, I don't know what else to tell you.

Each BE team played 7 opponents, UCONN is 5-2 and Cincy is 4-3. Nothing else matters. If records mean nothing and only head to head, then what's the point of a conference champion? If Cincy is so good, they should have beat UL and Pitt. They lost to both so don't keep making excuses.

BUT head to head they beat the hell out of UConn.

Fact is in two of your losses you got embarrassed while the UC defeats were very close.

We kicked your butt all over the field, that is what matters to me. If you want to say your team is better than us, have at it.

You know the truth.

Louisville has the talent to beat anyone on any given night. They beat UC and nearly beat WVU, they lost because a Pat White long run (image should be fresh in your head). Hell, Louisville would have beat you guys if it weren't for the missed fair catch. and you almost lost to TEMPLE. UC dominated UCONN, clearly they are the better team, 27-3. I repeat, you only scored 3 points.

Cincy lost to inferior opponents. One of your losses was at home.

UCONN finished ahead of Cincy in the BE. That's all it matters. Everything else is just noise.

If the standing are all that matter then why do we even do threads like these? UC would beat Uconn 19 out of 20 games and thats the truth.

And Cincinnati is going to finish the regular season ranked and UConn will not. Maybe UConn finished 5-2 because they had a extra conference home game that UC and USF did not have.

Dude, you got your arses handed to you by UC and WVU. Just take it and move on to the Papa John's.com Bowl.

No this thread is ranking the Big East teams. Not ranking how the Big East teams played in conference. For some reason you think since Uconn went 9-3 and lost to an OOC opponent that makes them better than UC. Both have the exact same records. Both teams have three losses. Regardless of whether a loss came to Virginia or to Pittsburgh it is still a loss. And on top of that They embarassed you head to head. The only reason the BE standings have Uconn ahead of Cincy is because they only look at in conference records. However we as logical fans can use the whole season to determine who was the best team. And the whole season shows that Uconn and Cincy have the exact same record cincy has a better OOC record and Uconn a better in conference record. We can also see Uconn lost to cincy by 24 points. And they lost to WVU by 45 points while Cincy lost to WVU by 5.

The Big East for the most part is very balance.
UConn never beat Cincinnati or West Virginia but UC have hard time with Pittsburgh which UConn don’t have problem with. USF manage to beat WVU two in the row. UConn can beat USF but only at home. For some reason our games against Rutgers are very competitive. We have not beat Syracuse at the dome yet.

The football league has two programs that represented us well in Louisville and WVU. But I don’t like to see the same team year after year as our champion. The old football league gets no respect even when Miami and VT played in national championship games. Miami and VT get the respect but not the league to the point if they are in the league. The football league is not worthy of the BCS. WVU better bring home NC trophy. Let hope next year, we get someone else other than WVU or Louisville to represent the league.

Husky, you are just going to have to deal with the fact that nearly all UConn fans don't think you are the 2nd best team in the conference. You aren't going to change their/my opinion, and I know we aren't going to change your's. Every thread is turning into UConn vs. UC.

Cincy owned UCONN...it wasn't even close. UC is also better than USF and the scores prove it this year.

Cincy beat itself 2 times this year, simple as that.

WV
Cinn
USF
Conn
Rutgers
L'Ville
Pitt
Cuse

I doubt a team that loses to Pitt and UL can beat any team in the conference 19/20.

Oh and not to get the wrong idea.

I don't think any BE team except for maybe WVU can beat a BE team 19/20.
