This: “It would be like considering a Los Angeles Dodgers victory a win for the city of New York because they used to play in Brooklyn!” does not parallel with counting Miami and Virginia Tech BCS bowls as Big East bids WHILE THEY WERE IN THE BIG EAST.

Counting BCS games by Miami and Virginia Tech after their departure and giving the Big East credit for their BCS bids (because they once played in the Big East) would fit the situation Devon is talking about in his above statement. I'm obviously not doing that.

I'm not beating my chest about anything. Please. I just want you to get your facts straight. Seriously. This cracks me up. And you write articles on this website.

You're still wrong. Keep going.

Of course you are. If you don't count BCS victories by former Big East teams the current conference members stand at 5 losses to 3 wins. You were the one who brought up post season irrelevance. The only thing irrelevant when it comes to the post season is the Big East. No one wants to watch them, no big major bowl wants to have them. Big Ten is a draw no matter how they perform.

Sure I'll take away the Miami loss as to Ohio State as well. That still give you 5 losses to 3 wins by current Big East teams. So what exactly are you beating your chest about again based on those numbers?

"It would be like considering a Los Angeles Dodgers victory a win for the city of New York because they used to play in Brooklyn!"

This statement doesn't reflect what you are doing. We are not counting Miami Fla and Virginia Tech BCS bowl games for the Big East conference NOW (since they belong in the ACC).

As far as Rich Rod, it's called money and prestige. And no, having those doesn't necessarily translate into performance on the field.

"You have in fact 6 losses to 3 wins by actual current Big East teams."

Wow, this is hilarious!. Please check your math/logic and get back to me. Taking away the wins, but leaving the losses. LOL. I love how you try to pull these fast ones over on me. That's why it is hard to believe much of what you say on here. Give me facts, sir.

Part of two being selected is due to the size of the conference. Think about it: Are you more likely to get two in from a conference of 8 or 11 and 12?. Don't worry, I know they consider the strength of the teams as well.

Bill-
Here are my arguments: We're not talking about the historical implications of the Big East. We're talking about the viability of it in the present and moving forward. So, it doesn't matter what VT and Miami did 10 years ago, when they were members of your conference, it would be like considering a Los Angeles Dodgers victory a win for the city of New York because they used to play in Brooklyn! Ohio State isn't leaving the Big Ten for a better, more competitive conference, and that's exactly the point I'm making with West Virginia. They were among the best teams in college football–a dynasty, if you will, under Pat White, and yet the first chance he gets, Rodriguez bolts to the Big Ten. The Big East isn't an attractive destination, either for teams or coaches.

99 Big east lost to SEC Florida
00 Big east lost to ACC Florida State
01 Big east (Miami) beats SEC Florida
02 Big east (Miami) beats Big 12 Nebraska
03 Big east lost to Big Ten Ohio State
04 Big east (Miami) beats ACC Florida State
05 Big east (Pitt) lost to mid major Utah
06 Big east (WVU) beats SEC Georgia
07 Big east (Louisville) beats ACC Wake Forest
08 Big east (WVU) beats Big 12 Oklahoma
09 Big east (Cinn) lost to ACC Virginia Tech
10 Big east (Cinn) lost to SEC Florida

So tell me, with Miami winning 3 of the supposed wins the Big East claims (they aren't in your conference anymore last I checked), you have in fact 6 losses to 3 wins by actual current Big East teams. So yeah, some blockbuster conference you've got there now. Not ONCE in the history of the BCS has a second participant from the Big East been invited to compete. Talk about post season irrelevance.

I don't get what Rich Rod has to do with this. Don't know why that came up. Wait, I bet you are going to try and take another BCS win away from the Big East because he is no longer the coach of a Big East team. LOL.
