The Northeast used to be a significant power in college football. Penn St, Syracuse, Boston College, Pittsburgh, West Virginia, etc were all Top 25 programs 20 years ago.
It is sad to think about the state of Northeast College Football right now! Think about it:
Boston College : The worst they have ever been and only look to be getting worse. One of the worst BCS programs in the country and on a downward spiral. Has been stuck as the outsider in a Southern Conference.
Syracuse: Has been one of the worst BCS programs in the last 5 years. About to become BC part II.
Penn St: Was the true NE power and one of a few true national powers. On the field, they have certainly gone down hill in the past 10 years. And we all know what is in store for them in the short term with the latest scandle.
WVU: While very good a few years ago, they are definately on a downward trend and are going to be a true outsider in the Big 12 conference. There is little doubt that they will become the BC of the Big 12 within 10 years.
Pitt: Have not been a good program for at least 10 years now. They are also at one of their low points and are joining the ACC to become another outsider.
Mayrland: Has been talked about at length on this board...so not much more needs to be said. They are very bad right now and their program is on the ropes. Their future does not look bright.
In summary...Northeast football has been completely neutered. It really is too bad. While it might be an opportunity for UConn to rise...it is still completely depressing to see what has become of what was once a proud tradition of NE football!
