OT- How Bad Is The Big East???
How bad does the BCS look when one of these teams gets the automatic bid? The BCS is garbage. I mean a .500 team could get in a BCS game! Seriously? Dont forget about the ACC either. Can the BCS just get rid of automatic bids? what about just using the top 10 standings in the BCS? I mean a good team is gonna get hosed out of going to a BCS game, most likely a Big Ten Team. Would love it to be MSU tho. Thoughts?

I know, but the lack of a single good team four or five times over the past decade is pretty alarming and a serious indictment of the BCS as it stands. A 7-5 team shouldn't be in the BCS, which is a serious possibility from the Big East (again).

Regular season record, final ranking, and BCS bowl result:
2000 - Miami 10-1, finished #2, won Sugar Bowl
2001 - Miami 11-0 National Champions
2002 - Miami 12-0 Lost National Championship
2003 - Miami 11-2, finished #5, won Orange Bowl
2004 - Pittsburgh 8-3, finished #25, lost Fiesta Bowl
2005 - West Virginia 10-1, finished #5, won Sugar Bowl
2006 - Lousville 11-1, finished #5, won Orange Bowl
2007 - West Virginia 10-2, finished #5, won Fiesta Bowl
2008 - Cincinnati 11-2, finished #17, lost Orange Bowl
2009 - Cincinnati 12-0, finished #8, lost Sugar Bowl
So in the last 10 years, the Big East champion has finished in the top-10 eight times, to-5 seven times, only had more than 2-losses once, and is 6-4 in their BCS games (In the same stretch, the Big Ten is 4-10 in BCS games)
After the split in 2004, the Big East is 3-2 in BCS games, and its champion has finished top-10 four of the five years.

...I like about the big east is syracuse, because the running back for the orange is 25th in the nation in rushing and their RB's coach is tyrone wheatley.

It would be great to eject the Big East as an AQ school and give their spot to the Mountain West.
