The Big East has DRASTICALLY improved as a league. With Louisville in charge, an always dangerous West Virginia team that is still very explosive, and a vastly improved Rutgers have balanced out a league that was absolutely left for dead as little as 18 months ago. This league deserves to be watched as there is a TON of young talent to be found here.

The ACC is having a serious down year. Miami and Florida State aren't anywhere near the conference title game, when teams like Wake Forest and Maryland are. Parity has found the ACC.

The Big East Rawks.

Loved the Shalala shuck 'n' jive excuse why Miami cut and ran from the Big East to the ACC a few years back.

I'd like to see hoop member Notre Dame partner up with the Big East in football as well.

ND won't join a conference until NBC stops offering them the exclusive contracts for it's games.

Besides that if ND ever wants to join a conferece, it would have to share it's bowl money, which is yet another thing ND is unwlling to go for at this point and time.

I'm really pulling for Louisville to make it. Even without Michael Bush they are doing awesome on offense (let's not mention D). The Brian Brohm story is a good one.

Alas, now that I'm actively pulling for them they'll lose to Rutgers (I curse teams--really).
