My personal observations (in FBS):
1.) The previous conference realignment:
- West Virginia (and TCU) have struggled to make a name for themselves in the Big 12!
- Syracuse and Pittsburgh are scraps in the ACC...
2.) The Big East left overs:
- USF bringing in wins over Cincinnati and UCONN
- UCONN is in a worse situation than we are
- Temple is somewhat comfortable in their circumstance
3.) CUSA schools unanimously beating USF:
- Rutgers and Louisville being worked over by UCF...
- CUSA teams demonstrated that they can stand up against the old Big East teams (Louisville being the outlier)
- Rutgers being the least deserving of conference realignment....
- I am reluctant to see the outcome of UCF vs USF.
4.) The AAC does not deserve to be a BCS AQ.
I may seem harsh in my critique, but I am just frustrated. I am only anticipating headlines from my facebook friends after the Thanksgiving holiday. I hope for the best, but I am expecting the worst. I can only look forward to next season!
