This week's Sagarin football ratings say the Big East is 5th rated conference and ACC is 6th rated conference. Here are some other interesting numbers. Syracuse is rated 66 and Pitt is 51. Potential BE newcomers are TCU at 17, Navy at 40, Air Force at 58, and UCF at 65. Basically, the newbies are additive to BE football, while the loss of Syracuse and Pitt is geographically relevant, it's not a football disaster.
Plus, did you see the stands at Pitt and Syracuse yesterday? All of the potential newbies have better fan support than Pitt and Syracuse. We may not have a choice about staying in the BE, but it will still be a relevant football conference if no more schools defect and we add at least 2 of Navy, , and UCF.
