Since we're hosting Pitt this year, we'd probably play them away next year. Pitt and WVU are two schools where it's logical to alternate home and away, since they are very near each other (only about 75 miles).So my guess would be that we'll host Cincinnati, Louisville, West Virginia in 2005, and host the other four Big East teams in even-numbered years.
