Before kickoff comes for the Big East, through the 'Ville, at 6:00, time for quick predictions.
I have USF over WVU for the BCS slot. Combination of a few factors -- WVU dealing with a new coach and massive losses on D, USF benefitting from it being the second year of a normal coach and the showdown with WVU being in Tampa in December, and the game I saw Daniels play in the bowl making me believe he may be the best QB in the league this year. Add up normal play at QB and TB and a normal coach, and I think USF stops its constant underperformance in the league that it suffered through under Leavitt.
I'm not sold on Pitt as being in a group with USF and WVU. Frankly, you could tell me anyone in the league other than Syracuse, Louisville and Rutgers could be third and I wouldn't be shocked. And I'm not even ruling out that Rutgers couldn't bounce back into mediocrity (and this year 4-3 probably won't leave you behind anyone other than WVU and USF).
