but its all ABOUT $$

let me open up a HUGE can of worms here...

id like to see the Big East add enough teams (4 or so)

to get a conference championship game and 2 more bowl games......

no need to play every conference team every year.

but its sad that those teams get bowl games and USF could beat them

This can has already been opened.  It's not happening.

BE commissioner has made it ABUNDANTLY CLEAR that the BE is not expanding for the sake of expanding.  He said the members would not support that.  He said there are some "special programs" the BE would admit immediately.  We all know who those are (ND, PSU, etc.) and it isn't CDOA teams.

i like playing all of the teams in your conference every year.  Wisconsin has one of the lowest SOS so far out of big ten teams and they wont play OSU or Michigan this year.  that's ridiculous.

Wisconsin played Michigan and lost by 14.

Not to mention that if USF finishes 7-5 and Cincy finshes 6-6, USF has to be selected before Cincy based on NCAA regulations.

USF would be selected over Cincy based on attendance numbers alone.  I'm sure we impressed the bowl officials that attended the Pitt game.

Attendance is not the only factor.  Name recognition.  Tradition.  Location.  Perceived television appeal.  Reputation.

But I like the fact that NCAA regulations would give USF the edge.

Am I the only one who thinks playing in against a SunBelt team in a bowl game is uninteresting?

Yes, I agree, but you have to at least let the conference champion go somewhere.

[Matt]

[RandyGator]

Go Bowling later, it will work itself out if we win.
