Beating a Dead Horse

The ACC's failures the past weekend have been well document.  So well documented as to become as cliche as OSU=EPIC FAIL and ess-eee-see speed.  The WWL has covered it, the Sporting News has it locked down, and every blogger on God's green earth has at least one post on the topic.  I, however, will not be celebrating (or lamenting) the misery that was ACC football (really Maryland, 14-7 over Delaware?  What the fuck was that?). 

Well...maybe not.  

Were it not for the ACC's poor showing everyone would be hopping on the "drop the Big East from the BCS" bandwagon again (likely with a passion and vehemence not seen since the aforementioned SEC-Lite made off with Miami, VaTech, and BC).  

Pittsburgh loses to BGSU, Syraucse gets handled by Northwestern, and Louisville...oy fucking vey, where to start?

Even the BE's wins seem gilded at best.  UConn had 5 turnovers against Hofstra and WVU was actually outgained by Nova (the 'Cats had 45 more yards and 7 more first downs than the 'eers).  While Pat White's aerial renaissance overshadowed the latter, its still worth noting that the Mountaineer defense gave up nearly 400 yards to Villanova.  

While Cincy and USF certainly dominated this weekend, the rest of the league was lackluster at best.  RU has a chance to redeem the conference this afternoon against a pretty solid Fresno squad.  

That being said: Go Knights!
