I can't believe there isn't a thread about this yet... In their Tuesday Question, the CFBNews columnists predicted who would play in each of the four BCS bowls. Of course, one of these teams is the Big East champ. EVERYONE picked Louisville to represent the Big East. USF got little mention. WVU got none, except as a speedbump on the UofL schedule. Here are the relevant comments: Richard Cirminiello: "Louisville will not lose again in the regular season, however, they’ll play in the Gator Bowl unless South Florida loses at least two of its final six games. The Bulls are a legit team, but winning pressure games in the Northeast in November will be a daunting challenge for the fledgling member of the Big East." Matt Zemek: "Louisville still figures to be in the Orange Bowl because... well, besides beating West Virginia this Saturday, it's simply hard to think South Florida can stay atop the Big East. This ain't no Bull? We'll just have to find out and see if USF's 31-point win over Louisville was more of a Cardinal meltdown than a running of the Bulls all over Bobby Petrino's team. Until USF solidifies and backs up that win, Louisville is still the percentage pick to come out of the Big East." Mark Risley: "Louisville has proved that it’s beatable, but it’s so difficult to put the USF loss into black & white. The Cardinals just destroyed a very good Tar Heels squad, and with its new “focusâ€Â, it’s hard to imagine UL losing again. Given that trend combined with USF’s task of severing three heads of the four-headed road monster (trips to Pitt, Rutgers, Syracuse, and UConn) makes you think that Louisville still has a slight edge." OK, so the pundits aren't sold yet on USF as a Big East title contender. That's fair, but why is everyone just handing the conference to Louisville? West Virginia is a capable team, as is UConn, and the Cards have to go both places. BTW, all five columnists placed the Big East champ in the Orange Bowl, vs the ACC champ (Va Tech or Miami).
