Big East has three in first Top 25 BCS Poll

[Water Pony]

Rutgers (15), Louisville (16) and Cincinnati (21) are all in the Top 25 in the first of the BCS Poll this year. Boise State is at 22. The league is looking better than Big Ten and ACC.

Next year is going to be a slaughter house for this team.

What's worse is Florida State and Clemson who are the only ACC/Big Ten teams to be in the Top 25, didn't rank at all with the computers. Both had a .000.

Well at least we got good news... Tv contract has some heavy weights to bring to the table... Bad news they have an almost non-existent football team coming in called SMU... Till we get a coach that can coach and recruit we will be a lightweight

Next year might be ugly on the field... but we still walk away with $10-$20M more in revenue!

Amazing that the Big Ten has zero BCS ranked teams and the ACC has a mere 2. Big East is definitely the 4th best BCS league at this point. We really need to step up our game. I hope our commissioner uses the poll as ammunition for a great TV contract! While things have bottomed out at SMU, things are looking up conference wise.

And in RGT's opinion- screw fball - just send the $$$$.

Going by the computer rankings the BCS is that much better. Aresco really needs to highlight that to the network executives. Perception is what is killing the league, but the play on the field is deserving of an automatic bid to one of the BCS bowls.

Yeah, I'm tired of hearing how bad the BE. Look at the facts. The ACC is terrible and the B10 outside of a school that cannot play for its conference championship yet alone a bowl game is awful. I think I'd rather watch Peruna mate than see either of those conferences on TV right now. Thank you ESPN for over hyping FSU and UM again! See you again next year looking like clowns when you predict them in the top 10 again.

There is a chance we could go 0-12 next year.

[The PonyGrad]

The NBE has four when you add Boise St.

Need to start implementing new offense now..

Led by a new coaching staff that gives a crap about our school and winning.

Wake me up when any of those 3 teams beats a true top 25 opponent...especially Rutgers.
