Big East Predictions

Can't believe I'm picking an unbeaten team in both the Big Ten and the Big East, but here goes...

1. West Virginia (7-0, 12-0)
White, Slaton will lead Mountaineers into BCS picture

2. Louisville (6-1, 11-1)
Brohm-to-Urrutia won't be enough in Morgantown

3. Rutgers (5-2, 10-2)
Even if Scarlet Knights upset WVU, finale @ Louisville gets them

4. South Florida (4-3, 8-4)
Grothe gives Big East three QBs that will eventually play on Sundays

5. Pittsburgh (3-4, 6-6)
Road schedule too tough for first-year starter at QB

6. Cincinnati (2-5, 7-5)
Brian Kelly will have Bearcats near top of conference by 2009

7. Connecticut (1-6, 5-7)
Favorable non-con schedule has 4-1 written all over it

8. Syracuse (0-7, 3-9)
Relatively tough non-conference schedule provides little relief for Orange
