Cincinnati defeated Western Michigan earlier in the International Bowl up in Toronto moving the Big East’s bowl record to 5-0. Thank god Pitt didn’t get picked to play in this game or else we’d have blown it for the entire conference. Even going undefeated, the TV personalities (who like to call themselves experts) will still hold out on giving respect to this conference. No one is asking them to put us about the SEC or Big Ten (yet) but we are deserving of a BCS spot and I think we’ve shown that the last two years.

It’s still forward progress which looks like it will only keep building with the BE’s “lesser” teams such as UConn and South Florida making giant strides towards the top of the conference.

In some conference basketball news, tonight at 9 pm #14 Connecticut will travel to #19 LSU. We’ll see if UConn is a serious threat or not. They haven’t looked too great after losing to WVU in their only real challenge.
