Big East vs. CUSA in football

UC vs. Southern Miss coming up is the latest chance for CUSA to pick up a win against the Big East in football. Just out of curiosity I checked back thru some recent seasons to see when the last time a current member of CUSA beat a Big East team....

and the most recent one I could find was 9/23/2000, East Carolina beat Syracuse 34-17.

Since then - over 7 YEARS AGO - current members of CUSA are 0-23 against the Big East, while being outscored an average of 38-15.

52 7 Pitt over UCF / 10-13-2006

26 20 Pitt over UAB / 9-14-2002

24 6 Pitt over UAB / 12-1-2001

27 7 USF over ECU / 12-23-06

24 17 USF over UCF / 9-16-06

31 14 USF over UCF / 9-17-2005

38 14 SU over UCF / 9-20-03

38 35 SU over UCF / 11-2-02

44 30 SU over ECU / 9-29-2001

64 12 USF over UCF / 10-13-2007

40 14 UC over MU / 9-22-2007

I went thru the records quickly so it's possible I missed one, but if this is accurate - ****. That's quite a streak for the Big East, regardless of the conference opposition. 23 straight wins over CUSA teams for the Big East.

Sorry, I forgot to post the link.

your research approach is flawed - technically you should only count something as a BE vs. CUSA if those teams were members of those conferences at the time they played.

ie., you would need to look at cincy & louisville & usf records against BE teams at the time they were members of cusa, etc, as well as only count games for teams like marshall for years they were league members

i realize you ar only looking at current members - but that kinda skewes the data.

Good stat, although we beat ECU 24-7 in the Pizza Bowl, not 27-7, right?
