Even I'm a UConn fan and now I've seen the light of just how bad this football conference is....I know, I know I'm surprised myself it has taken me this long to admit this.
The Big Least's best team #16 West Virginia got dismantled AT HOME by #2 LSU 47-21. I don't care how good LSU is this year, that's embarassing for the conference. Good for Pitt and Syracuse on getting out of the conference while they could. This just adds up to the number of embarassing losses this year for the Big Least.

Have you looked at the ACC? Not much better, and adding Pitt and Syracuse won't help. The Big East is 3-1 vs the ACC so far this year. Granted, it's a small sample of games and I think the ACC is the better of the two conferences but neither conference deserves a BCS autobid.

At least the ACC has Florida State, Clemson, and Virginia Tech...all teams who could end up having great years. I don't think the head to head comparison is fair. Cincy beat a terrible NC State team and what were the other two match-ups? If I had to bet....Florida State (ACC best team) would beat West Virginia (BE best team), Clemson (Possibly ACC second best team, or maybe ACC best team after yesterday) would beat USF (Possibly BE second best team), and Virginia Tech would probably beat anybody third or lower in the conference.

Georgia Tech will win their division this year. I doubt they'll win less than 9 games this year for sure

I'd take USF over Clemson, they beat em last year and they're looking better this season. Until FSU can run the ball they won't be the ACC's top team or second team.

Did you read my post? I said I thought the ACC was better, and I admitted the head to head sample set was small.
The last few years the ACC has been almost as bad as the Big East, and I'm not sure this year will be different. Both the ACC and the Big East are basketball conferences. The ACC just got better at basketball, but adding Pitt and Syracuse won't make it better at football - might even make it worse.

Personally, I hate the argument that the ACC and Big East don't deserve BCS autobids. Tell me this, if they don't deserve then what other conference deserve an autobid? Realistically, you can't tell me the Mountain West is better from top to bottom than the ACC or Big East.

I don't know if anyone really 'deserves' a bid to a game that doesn't mean jack shit, other than a huge payday for whatever network it's on. Fuck, I hate the BCS.

I think including you, everybody feels the same exact way in regards to the BCS. I give a big to the BCS.

As a fan of a team that once undeserving benefitted from the BCS and robbed by the old system, I don't really hate it. I wouldn't mind seeing a playoff though.

Agreed. But remember why the BCS was started in the first place - so that the "haves" keep the "have nots" form getting too much of the money pie. The problem is that the ACC and Big East are made up of have nots.

Nobody. But at least the SEC, Pac 10, Big 10 and Big XII champs have been deserving the last few years. Just because I want to take away autobids from the ACC and Big East doesn't mean that I want to give them to anyone else.

...so 20 schools, really?
no offense but the Big East BB schools need to walk away from this madness
...and take the name with them - I miss the ole school logo

The Big East needs to add members and keep it's BCS bid. Army does not make the conference stronger. They may get an invite because there are no other choices, but they are not a good pick up for a BCS conference.
