College Football Remains Upon Us
In fact, it is upon us even more. Only three days remain until those beer-swilling youth of ours put on matching colored shirts and are led in cheers which may or may not include such phrases as sis-boom-bah. Rah! Nothing says America like morning drinking on a fall day. The tailgating experience is fairly unique to American football. Despite their lack of alcoholism, I’ve heard theirs other college sports. There’s apparently a big basketball tournament in March. But what happens when football happens in a basketball conference? We’ll find out together, today, as I half-assedly preview the Big East conference. After the jump!
The Big East’s best football teams are now in the Atlantic Coast Conference, which, as the name indicates, is a separate conference. The ACC has their own automatic BCS bid and everything, so even though football left for greener pastures, automatic big bowl money remains! Two teams have attempted to seize this oppurtunity, to become the dominant team from a crappy conference. Those two teams are Louisville and West Virginia!
Louisville is completely loaded. And I mean completely loaded. So loaded, they decided to have an actual non-conference opponent. They host Miami, former Big East stud, on September 16. That game and their November 12 matchup with West Virginia basically determine the success of their season. What makes November 12 doubly important is that it’s the ONLY difficult game on West Virginia’s schedule. It’s the de facto Big East championship game, unless something miraculous happens at the University of New Jersey or something, WV and L-ville should win out the rest of their games.
This means unless Miami beats Louisville and then Louisville beats West Virginia, one team from the Big East will likely be in the national championship game. Plus, they’ll have a couple of teams in the final four in all liklihood.
Best team: Louisville. I’m not sure if you were aware, but they are loaded.
Worst team: The rest of the conference is inconsequential, it’s all about Louisville and West Virginia.
Best player: Michael Bush. Possibe back-to-back Bush Heisman trophy winners? Not likely since they already gave it to Brady Quinn, but certainly plausible.
