Yes, once more Louisville picked to win and Pitt in 2nd place in the Big East. This preview from Rivals.com. The real surprise in their picks is placing South Florida as their darkhorse and 3rd in the BE. I have to believe that Pitt fans should never take the Bulls for granted — hopefully neither will the team.
The fact that the Cardinals and Panthers are overwhelming favorites to win the Big East crown is evident in the Rivals.com 2005 Preseason All-Big East team. Louisville placed 12 players on the first or second team, while Pittsburgh was represented by nine players, including eight who made the first team.
