Apparently The Sporting News leaked its All-Big East Preseason team to the schools before it has even made it a release on its own site.

The Sporting News obviously thinks West Virginia and Louisville will dominate the Big East football competition this fall.

Seven players from each of those two schools are on the 2006 Sporting News All-Big East preseason first team.

What’s more, TSN has three Mountaineers and three Cardinals on its second team. There also are seven from each on the All-America checklist. That publication couldn’t have put these two national powers any closer in its projections for the upcoming season.

Brohm was named Big East offensive player of the year and Pitt linebacker H.B. Blades defensive player of the year.

Pitt and South Florida placed three players each on the all-league first team, Connecticut and Rutgers two each, and Syracuse one.

Obviously, that means Brohm was 1st team QB. Apparently WVU’s Pat White was the 2nd team, meaning Tyler Palko didn’t make the cut.

My educated guess for the 3 Pitt 1st teamers: Blades, CB Darrelle Revis and P Adam Graessle.
