yeah...because no one can move up from Mid Major Land...(UL, Cinci, & USF).
Weird...without "Mid Major land"....Cinci, USF, UL wouldn't be in the Big East today.
Making fun of your past?
That's sadistic.

And without leaving C-DOA you would still be in the MAC getting your arses handed to you by Miami, Bowling Green and Northern Illinois.
Win some regular season and bowl games before talking about teams you can't beat and that includes Louisville, Cincinnati and South Florida.

Writers Poll Analysis
I disagree with the writers jumping Arkansas all the way up to #17, despite the impressiveness of their win over Auburn. More time is needed to properly assess them. I agree that Wisconsin should be #25, unlike the coaches who put BC there again.
I expected either Florida or Michigan to jump up to the #2/#3 spot after Auburn's tumble. No news there. Florida State, Miami, and Penn State should not be receiving the amounts of votes they are getting at this point. Those are based on reputation.

I'm pretty much in agreement with that... only difference is maybe swapping Michigan and Florida, but I think both have a good argument to be no. 2.
I agree with CollegeCard, mlb. I think Florida has faced tougher competition. They beat Tennessee in Knoxville, and the Vols are having a great season outside that 1 point loss. Don't you remember what they did to Cal in week 1? Add that to the destruction of LSU and that is hard to beat. Not even Ohio State can top that one, unless they beat Michigan. But by that time Florida may have beaten Auburn too, so it may still be no contest even with a win over Michigan. Michigan can't top it, no matter what they do.

If it is not bashing the Big East it is bashing USF or saying something stupid like Houston could compete in our league even though they can't even beat a Sunbelt team at home.
Fact is this, the Big East is among the Top 4 leagues THIS year in the country right behind the SEC, Big 10 and Pac 10 and ahead of the ACC and Big XII. If you don't believe me check the BCS Computer Conference Rankings.
I support C-DOA as you call it and the BE. I am actually pleasantly surprised at how well the BE is doing (at least the top four or five) and am also extremely happy with the demise of the ACC. Hope this year is not an abberation and it continues. In turn I can only hope CUSA and for that matter Memphis football gets better; it can't for either get much worse.

I don't think WVU's loosing a spot was due to anything WVU did bad but was more a reflection on Florida's dream season so far....so WVU has nothing to be ashamed of. The season is only half way over. The most I can see WVU loosing is one game....Florida will be lucky to end the season with one loss so it will all even out in the end.

I have been saying the same thing months. Posts like this wouldn't be tolerated on the CUSA and thus should not be accepted here. If some one would ban one or two of these UCF fans, most of this sh*t would stop.
