The BIG East
Ok, so Rutgers upset Louisville tonight making them a surprising 8-0. Talk is that they won't be in the BCS Championship Bowl game even if they finish the regular season undefeated. Yet, West Virginia now ranked #10, had they beat Louisville last week would be #3 nationally and if they finished the season undefeated then there wouldn't be much debate that they were "qualified" for the BCS game. Now, I think the playoff system debate isn't needed here. But what's the Big East hate? Is it because Rutgers isn't a powerhouse team or has ever had a good season? If it was Pitt that was 8-0 would this be different? Why?

J, the big east sucks. you and i both know this...l'ville and rutgers would both get killed playing OSU, and possibly UM.
WVa mayyybe could hang with OSU, but not for 4 quarters. we both know big10 football is the way to go. i would love for OSU/UM to play again in the title game, as self-indulgent as that may be.
Agreed. You're right that the rematch game is probably the best bowl game to have. However, I don't think it's right that because Rutgers was better than everyone thought and the fact that their preseason poll number wasn't great is the reason they won't play for the BCS game.. especially since the BCS states that the winner of the Big East should be in contention for the game.
