Big East Coast BiACC - Big East Preview, Week 12

November 20, 2010  |  By Brian McCabe

Stop the presses! For the second STRAIGHT week the Big Least is playing all intra-conference games. This is just crazy. I have no idea how to react or what to do. I am in hog heaven.

Pittsburgh is 5-4. If Pitt wins out they play in a BCS game.

No, there is nothing wrong with the current system. NOTHING AT ALL. This is utterly mind-boggling.

Well, last week; the Big East portion of the BiACC went 2-1 improving its overall record to 19-20-1. I know … pretty sad.

But don’t fret; I’ve got some good ones for you this Saturday. Take a look at what this amazing football conference has on the docket.

Saturday:

Pittsburgh at South Florida (+3) - The Wannstache Bash rolls into Tampa looking to stay atop this joke of a conference. The Fighting Skip Holtzes are holding strong at 6-3 overall.

There will be no rhyme or reason to this game. It probably won’t be very entertaining to watch.

Pitt’s D will hold B.J. Daniels in check and control the clock with Dion Lewis and Ray Graham out of the backfield.

Pitt will cover three on the road and continue down the most improbable path to a BCS game so far.

Again, there is no need to change the system.

West Virginia at Louisville (+4.5) - The Mountaineers are coming off a big win laying a beat down on the Bearcats. They had their second most productive offensive output of the season. But this week, they meet a defensively tough team in Louisville.

Charlie Strong has been coaching up the boys well thus far and has had an impressive first season at the helm. The Redbirds are ranked FOURTH in the country in points against. Don’t look for a lot of offensive in this game.

Louisville will pull of the upset. Enjoy the extra 4.5 points as well.

Connecticut at Syracuse (-3.5) - Just when you think Syracuse has it pulled together, they lose to Louisville and eek out a 3-point victory over a hapless Rutgers team. So I really have no idea what to expect this weekend.

‘Cuse is only 2-2 at home, but I have a feeling that Maroni is going to put the pedal down and go for it all. The BCS game is feasible, and what a story it would be! What a turnaround it would be!

Take the Orange, lay the points and have fun.

Rutgers at Cincinnati (-13) - Yea, like I have any idea what is going to happen in this game.

Neither team has shown anything close to consistency all season.

Schiano is fading and B. Jones is struggling.

All I know is this:13 is a big number. Take Piscataway’s punching bag and call it a day.

Patsy Party: Again, insert Big Least joke “here.”

[Ed. Note: How about this for the joke: Aren’t all of these games patsy parties?]
