Big East Schedules

The Big East has a legitimate national title contender in West Virginia. But will the Mountaineers be able to run the table in the "weak" Big East? Louisville is loaded on offense once again, but can the Cards not choke at a lesser opponent this year? Will Syracuse win more than one game this year? Will Pitt bounce back from a dismal 5-6 year? This is just a knee-jerk prediction on how the Big East teams will fare in 2006. As stated in other posts these predictions will change as the depth charts take shape after Spring ball.
