I think that people around the nation should stop bashing the Big East and allow some time for the New Big East to emerge. I know I'm biased from a USF stand point but how are people judging how bad the conference is this early on? Is it based off of teams performance such as Pitt, is it based off of we don't have a team in the top 10 any more, or is it based off of a team like us who just happened to upset who everyone thought was possibly going to go to a BCS bowl this season. What ever it is I think people around the nation need to give it time for our conference to emerge. If I'm not mistaken wasn't Miami pretty dominate in the Big East for a while? Whether it's a couple dominate teams that'll make the conference a good conference or whether it's well balanced competition within the conference or a team in the conference having to upset another top ranked team I think people should just give the conference some time. I also think come basketball time alot of people are going to have some different opions about the Big East...heck, 2 of the last 4 champions in basketball come out of the Big East and coming in are also a couple teams that have made some final 4 appearances the last 4 years in Marquette and Louisville. So all in all the Big East might not be as "dominate" as people would like them to be just yet but just wait when the opinions start to change when basketball roles around.
