well it really doesn't make sense that USM would be a surprise team out of CUSA, or UAB either for that matter.(They still have Hackney) Most people expect them to be good. But what would that make Memphis? Middle of the pack or favorites to win? :laugh:

Also I thought Cincy had landed some nice new recruits? and I just don't see them as being that
bad next year.


They have the MWC ahead of both of us too :laugh:

Yeah I'd agree this was a pretty useless ranking(prediction?).

The man probably has the BE down so low because we only have 8 schools....but if he has a top 20 team like Pitt in his "suprise" category and probably best Rutgers team in a generation in the "near the bottom"....he doesn't know a lot about BE football

it's fashionable to bash the NBE. {shrug}. All we've got to do is take care of business.

You think it is fashionable to bash the big east? You have a complex.
