All of the college football experts are ripping on the ACC (and I usually do the same). However, after Rutgers' 24-7 loss to Fresno State Monday the Big East isn't looking too strong this season.
Sure, most of you will say the conference has never been that good. But not true. WVU, South Florida, Rutgers, Louisville, Cincinnati (and even UConn) have been solid, competitive teams. Heck, the Big East has won three consecutive BCS bowl games.
But this weekend exposed the Big East as being very top heavy. WVU and USF may be all the conference has in 2008.
Even more embarrassing was the offensive performance of Louisville against in-state rival Kentucky on Sunday. Hunter Cantwell is supposed to be a future NFL quarterback. For who? Columbus Destroyers?
Pitt is Pitt. Dave Wannstedt is Dave Wannstedt. I wasn't that shocked that the Panthers were dumped by Bowling Green. I won't be surprised when they lose to Turner Gill's Buffalo Bulls this week.
Syracuse is supposed to suck, so losing at Northwestern wasn't a shock. However, the Orange actually had their opportunities. It's almost like they want to lose so the Greg Robinson experiment can just come to an end.
If WVU or South Florida can run the table or only lose one game, the conference will be cut some slack. But the Mountaineers could get bumped by a very interesting East Carolina squad this Saturday. Bill Stewart's squad must also travel to Colorado and host Auburn this fall. Three or four losses are a real possibility.

Was shocked at Louisville's offense. Completely inept. Was Bobby Petrino that big of a genius or Brian Brohm that good?
Pitt I wasn't that surprised about. Why Matt Cavanaugh continues to get off. coordinator jobs is beyond me. And The Stache just isn't a good game day coach.
