That Oregon team we played was not the one that played UCLA and OSU. The coaching staff got a month to prepare a game plan and start their RS QB. In the UCLA and OSU game Oregon did not have the time to change their offense and prepare their QB for that offense.

they had a month to get a QB who never started a game prepared to play a GREAT defense!

There are also a lot of people that considered Jonathon Stewart was the 2nd best RB in the country behind Mcfadden.  Funny what happens when a guy with that kind of talent, that was hurt for most of the last 1/2 of the year, has a month to heal himself.  Earlier in the year Corso called him the best RB in the country.  We played a legit National Championship caliber team.  We played a poor game.  Thats a bad combination  It's very naive to think the BE is a weak conference based on our loss to Oregon.

We have a good defense but i wouldnt say it was GREAT. A great defense doesnt get slashed like that. Their coaching staff used our strength,SPEED against us and after that our defense had no clue what was going on.

that was sarcasm

its not based on that... its based on many things. WVU is the class of the big east.

the Mountaineers are the only Big East squad with the ability to compete nationally right now, and it remains to be seen how well they'll do with the coaching change next season.

that leaves a crowd of 4 mid-tier programs (USF, Cinci, L'Ville and UConn), Pitt and then Cuse.

a tough conference to play in every week, but unless WVU can maintain it's powerhouse status through the coaching change, or another team steps up and makes a big run, the conference is going to look weak going into 2008.

the big east will always been known as the weakest of the BCS conferences.  we dont have the history, boosters, fanbases, national titles, all americans, etc.  that the other programs have.

but its very clear that the gap between the big east and the BEST BCS conference is a lot closer than the gap between the Big East and the next best Non-BCS conference.

I am sorry but those lower bowl games dont really matter that much compared to the BCS games when a conference wants to get respect. Case in point, the BIG EAST lost the Mienke Car Care Bowl (USF to NC ST), the Gator Bowl (UL to Va-Tech), the Insight Bowl (Rutgers to Arizona St) all during USF's first year in the BIG EAST.  The one bowl game that everyone remembered that year was the Sugar Bowl in where WVU beat Georgia when the game was played in Atlanta. That proves that everyone pays more attention to what happened in the BCS games. Right now, the BIG EAST is 3-0 in the BCS games since USF joined the conference which is pretty impressive. I say the state of the BIG EAST is pretty **** good right now if you ask me with both UCONN and USF getting stronger next season. Ask the BIG 10 about BCS games as they are doing terrible.
