The major college football conferences are usually listed as the SEC, Pac-10, Big 10, ACC, Big 12, and Big East. Out of all the major conferences this year the Big East finds itself in the unique position of not having a single one of its teams among the top 25 of either the USA Today or Associated Press polls. Nevertheless, the conference has been well represented in prominent bowl games in recent years. Some of the conference’s non football factory schools have also become bigger players on the national football scene, especially Rutgers, Cincinnati and Connecticut.

Don’t sleep on the Big East though, as some of the most exciting players to watch this season will be in the conference. West Virginia’s Noel Devine, South Florida’s George Selvie and Matt Grothe, and Cincinnati’s Tony Pike.

Also despite the departure of the conference’s most prominent coaches in recent years such as Rich Rodriguez and Bobby Petrino, the conference still has some excellent sideline generals including Rutgers’ Greg Schiano and Cincinnati’s Brian Kelly.
