*** Official West Virginia - Louisville Thread ***
Anyone out there care about this game outside of the Big East? I live in the Louisville area, so I hear a lot of hype.
Despite the general weakness of the Big East, I've got to think the winner of this game has the best chance of pairing up against OSU/Michigan for the NC. I just wish that Louisville had its Heisman candidate Michael Bush playing. Then we'd still how strong they really are. I've still got to go with Louisville by 7.

The general one. [/ QUOTE ] I can't tell if you are trying to be funny or not. So, for the OP: What "general weakness" do you perceive the Big East to have this year? Only asking, because the Big East has shown to be one of the better conferences in I-A so far.

The Big East doesn't have any wins against any teams in the Top 25 I don't believe. THere isn't any love from the computers for any of the undefeated teams (due to lack of schedule strength).

[/ QUOTE ] Many conference ranking systems have the Big East as high as #3 (behind the SEC and PAC-10). I'll admit that I'm not sold on how solid these ranking systems are, but the Big East is not a weak football conference this year. Here is Sagarin NCAA football ratings

I getting excited about it. This is the biggest weeknight college football game I can remember. [/ QUOTE ] This "might" be the best biggest game of the year. I think both teams matchup well. We had 1 vs 2 in OSU vs Texas but that wasn't a game. I also think there's a possibility the 1 vs 2 of OSU & Michigan won't be as good as people think it will be. I hate West Virginia, but them losing would only hurt the Big East so I got to cheer for them tonight.
