The SEC is overrated, but at least I can name the teams in the conference. The Big East has West Virginia and who else? Seriously, I have no goddam clue. VT? Wait, they're gone. So is Miami. Maybe Boston College?

Do we just continue to wait through their suckitude and keep allowing their crap teams auto entries into the BCS?

After FSU's embarrassing win last night and coming to the BCS 8-4, I submit the Big East is the least of College Football's problems.

At least FSU beat 2 good teams

Louisville has been crushing people all year and one of their two losses was at a very good West Virginia in triple overtime.

For the record, Sagarin predictor has Louisville 9th and West Virginia 11th, higher than any Big East teams. uga, Auburn, and LSU are close though, and if uga had Shockley all year I bet they'd be ahead.

It's reasonable to believe West Virginia or Louisville could win the Big East.

Sagarin!

Well, WVU will play Georgia, so we'll get a good comparision.

I'd make the line uga -1.5. WVU has slightly better computer numbers, but uga played without Shockley, which drags them down a little.

I believe that Louisville will play VT. That'll be another good test for the BE powerhouses. WVU's only loss was a VT ass kicking though.

The thing is, is that this is the last year there will be 8 teams in the BCS. Next year, there will be the 4 consolation bowls: Rose, Fiesta, Orange, & Sugar. The Championship Bowl will be unnamed, and I believe a week after the consolation bowls. So I don't think I'll mind as much seeing 1 of those 10 teams being an automatic bid for the Big East. You don't want to alienate those dollars from the northeast.

Secondly, find it interesting that you are complaining about the Big East, when the team that they are sending is a 'top 10' BCS team to the Orange Bowl, when the #22 ranked Florida State team is representing the 'powerhouse' that is the ACC

You should immediatly punch yourself in the face.
The bowl games will speak for themselves, SEC goes undefeated, and I'm not going to reply to anymore of these type sec is overated topic's again until I'm proven right because I think I'm the only SEC fan on this site.

South Carolina vs. Missouri (SEC edge, but no one cares)
Texas Tech vs. Alabama (TT wins 75+% of the time)
Iowa vs. Florida (Big 10 > SEC, by a long way, but Florida has a decent shot of winning)
Miami is better than LSU, though not by much.
Auburn is better than Wisconsin, though not by much.
Georgia is better than WVU, though not by much.

There's no way SEC goes undefeated there. Someone needs to bet you money.

They likely won't go undefeated, but they certainly have a shot.
