So you consider Memphis at Duke a big ooc game and temple and uconn at Maryland big ooc games. I am really glad you are overlooking both Louisville and Boise State at USM?

UConn at Maryland (Wouldn't be surprised either way)

Louisville vs Kentucky (Wouldn't be surprised either way)
Louisville vs North Carolina (Wouldn't be surprised either way)
Memphis at Duke
Navy vs Notre Dame in Ireland
Navy at Penn State
Navy vs Indiana
Rutgers at Arkansas
SDSU at Washington
USF vs FSU
USF at Miami (Wouldn't be surprised either way)
SMU at Baylor (Wouldn't be surprised either way)
SMU vs Texas AM
SMU vs TCU
Temple vs Maryland (Wouldn't be surprised either way)
Temple at Penn State

Meh, ended up making safe predictions.
LOL so your safe predictions where except for two against Big East and for all of the ACC teams. 03-lmfao

Figured someone would say this. Most, if not all, of the teams I picked will be favored. Which is why I said they were safe picks.

USF @ Miami - Toss up. It's at Miami so I went with the Canes.

FYI....Miami now has almost zero home-field advantage playing at the gigantic Joe Robbie Stadium....as Miami now plays most of their home games in front of 35,000-45,000 empty seats...some of them covered up with giant tarps.

In just the last 2 years, Miami has lost SIX home games.

Last year...Miami lost at home to BOSTON COLLEGE, which was just one of BC's 3 Div I-A wins last year.

I know I am a little biased, but getting a win against Miami-with their prime location, national brand, and former membership-would also be vital for the Big East Conference.

Well since I have to explain it to you USM is in CUSA while they are a better team than Duke. The reality is the media will not care if UL beats USM but they will harp on the record of Big East teams compared to ACC. There is no longer a BCS in name but the Big East success vs the other current AQ conferences is important for the league

Well I guess a win is a win against the big 5 even if it's Duke.

Beating an ACC team trumps beating a CUSA team even if it's Duke.

Certaintly that would be a good win but reality is that the media will not make a huge fuzz about that but they do keep track on how the current BCS conferences do against each other and since the Big East is closest to ACC. How they do against each other gets played more.

This whole conference affiliation thing just pisses me off it has nothing to do with on field results. It just about what conference your in. Its very frustrating, but I guess it goes both ways like y'all and the ACC. I guess all you can do is keep winning.

Sadly that's exactly what it is. USM has a good program and will always be a tough game to win.
