Is the rebuilt Big East really all that better than the MAC? After they lost Miami, VA Tech and BC to the ACC, they added Cincy, Memphis and Louisville. Three metro basketball schools. I suppose I could use some ranking data but, in general, the Big East has fallen off in a big way and is part of the BCS only because no conference has ever been kicked out. I don't think the Big East is as good as the Mountain West.
Yes, it is important that Barwin has had a year of college at DE but I'm just not that impressed with the quality of the Big East. IMO, there's only four quality football conferences - Big 10, Big 12, SEC and ACC.
