Louisville does not deserve to have that banner made. In the length of history it will end up being "Conference Champion". The "co" will eventually be dropped and people forget the sharing part. Much like Pitt and WV a few years ago, both are co-champions, but Pitt went to the BCS.West Virgnia was claiming they were going for their 3rd straight BE title this season. Technically true, but misleading. How about USC, co-national champions?There can only be ONE champion. ONE winner.
Guest Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 Unfortunately, that is not the way things work when you don't have a playoff to determine the champion. Last year, Ohio State and Penn State were co-champions of the Big East.
