It didn’t fail last year and it won’t this year – the Big East teams will fall again. People cried last year that West Virginia, Louisville and Rutgers were ranked too high. Well what happened? Louisville knocked off West Virginia, Rutgers upset Louisville and Cincinnati beat Rutgers. End of national championship discussion.
Without failure, the first Big East team fell Saturday, as the #9 Cardinals were upset in a thrilling 40-34 battle in Kentucky. Brian Brohm (28 of 43 for 366, 1 TD) was fantastic once again, but unfortunately the future No. 1 pick won’t be playing for a national title this year.
And as much as I love to watch Ray Rice, Steve Slaton and Pat White play, West Virginia and Rutgers won’t be playing for a NC either. The theory that Big East teams will knock each other off is just too sound.
