2011 Big East Positive Impact Factor: Week Seven
The Big East continues to wait for Missouri to do something (today they authorized the chancellor to look into the school's conference realignment, um, again.) Meanwhile, tonight the only football games on are two Big East conference games (West Virginia at Syracuse and Rutgers at Louisville). It...
Louisville and West Virginia to the Big XII No Matter What?
Remember how the Big East delayed sending out invites to schools because it didn't want to overshadow Big East basketball media day today? Well, too bad realignment rumors win the day once again. While everyone in the Big East leadership is in NYC today talking about how great the 2011-2012 season...

The latest SB Nation BlogPoll is up at the mother ship, LSU is still #1. The LSU Tigers have been on top of the SB Nation BlogPoll for a month, what else is new? Well, since last week...next to nothing as regards the Big East (at least in the BlogPoll, Mengus will have a post later today on the...
2011 Big East Positive Impact Factor: Week Six
Off the field turmoil regarding conference expansion/implosion continues as we look at the updated standings for the Big East's quarterbacks and defenses against opposing QBs using the Positive Impact Factor (what's this?). There's a couple of new names on the list this week in Teddy Bridgewater...
2011 Big East Positive Impact Factor: Week Five
The conference is having further issues this week off the field (TCU left for the Big XII before they even got to the Big East, Louisville is a target for the Big XII as well). On the field, the conference didn't do so hot in Week Five either. The Positive Impact Factor (what's this?) is back to...
NCAA Football 12 Sees Good Things for the Big East in Week 5
Big East conference play is here. NCAA Football 12 video game was correct on the number of wins the Big East put up last week, but missed on the outcomes of two games. The video game was about 72% in picking games straight up last year, which surprised me. I haven't done the numbers yet for this...
2011 Big East Positive Impact Factor: Week Four
One third of the college football season has now gone by. That is certainly depressing news. The Big East presidents are meeting in Washington, D.C. to discuss who knows what (likely survival). However, on the field, the Big East had some good performances during the past week of games from the...
2011 Big East Positive Impact Factor: Week Three
Now that all the Big East teams have played two games and all but Rutgers have played three games, we switch the format to the season Positive Impact Factor (what's this?) rather than how players and teams did each week. The performance of Big East quarterbacks took a step back this past week, but...
NCAA Football 12 Predicts Good Week for Big East in Week 4
Last week, the NCAA Football 12 video game (please read those last two words before you continue, they're important) projected a 4-3 week for the Big East. That actually happened, but with different teams winning and losing. This week, the video game sees a 5-2 finish for the Big East. I called...
Big East Football Wrap Up: Week 3
The Big East football wrap up does not consist of, we're closing the doors on Big East football because Pittsburgh stabbed the commissioner in the back and ran out the door to the ACC (but it could have gone like that). When we ran the NCAA Football 12 simulations, we got 4-3 for the Big East in...
