U mean toast of the town Winkie?

Go Blazers!

This says what we all know...the Big East is the weakest BCS conference...and it is between the MWC and C-USA for the best non-BCS conference.

Big East - 72.65
Memphis - 73.26 (that seem low to me)

this tells me we are more that good enough to be in the Big East...here's hoping.

Go Tigers!!!

So is this going to be moved to the smack board, too? :rolleyes:

I don't believe it should be because this post states an opinion from the Big East point of view, this is a Big East board isn't it? If you want to state your opinion on something like this you need to go to the CUSA board and do it on one of the numerous threads started daily to talk about how superior the New CUSA is to the old one or how much better the New CUSA is without the teams going to the Big East. If you do that it doesn't turn into a he said / she said pizzing contest.

The new C-USA is not going to be a great football conference, but it's members were 2-0 against Cincinnati and South Florida this weekend.

Sort of like how I started a thread on how disgusting it was to see the Gameday goons act like the Big East was worthless because their current top team lost, and it was moved to the smack board (not to mention the fact that a later post I made that reiterated that I was talking about how I wasn't even trying to knock the Big East was apparently deleted during the process)?

POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
