Big East Rundown:

It looks to me, and I am a certified drunken expert, that the Big East race has boiled down to a three team race. Obviously Cincinnatti is the undisputed leader at this point, while USF and WVU have seemed to put themselves ahead of the rest of the pack.

Louisville and Syracuse are both awful. They have each had a few glimmers of hope this year, but they are about as close to winning a BE title as I am to winning a Pulitzer. Rutgers has played absolutely no one outside of the beat down they received from Cincy and UCONN appears to be the same ole team; a reliable, tough nosed squad, that cannot get over the proverbial hump.

I would include Pitt in the top three, but I am very skeptical with a few of their close wins and their collapse against NCST (who lost to Duke this weekend). I am a bit worried about their run game though.

We should be able to glean significantly more info on Cincy and USF as they go toe to toe on Thursday night. WVU appears to be a dominant team sans turnovers, which they finally achieved a positive TO margin this weekend vs Syracuse. If Cincy and WVU can both get past USF, and my fingers are crossed, November 13th is shaping up to be a special night.
