This season playing at Central Florida and Memphis at home would certianly make Pittsburgh's schedule more BCS friendly than facing Florida International and New Hampshire. Unfortunately for the Panthers they could go undefeated this fall and have a tough time getting consideration for The BCS Championship because they scheduled those two programs. That's the major problem having 7 conference games a season. It's tough for good teams to get 5 quality OOC opponents per season. The question is....Is a chance at a national championship worth what ever change in revenues would occur adding two programs?

Awhat.... So you missed the part of the schedule where Pitt plays @ Utah and Notre Dame and at home against Miami. I do agree that at least one of the 2 nobodies should leave the schedule. But then again look at any school from the B10 and its worse than our OOC. Thanks for the stupid slant again.

I still want to know which BE teams are having all of this trouble scheduling quality OOC games?

Might want to read many of the PUBLIC quotes at the last 2 Big East Football Media Days...as MULTIPLE Big East Coaches noted that its a pain in the astro to schedule FIVE non-conf games per year...especially the years when Big East teams have just 3 conf home games (only BCS Conf to deal with that problem of just 3 conf home games...every other year).
