A Thoughtful Addendum:
With both Louisville and West Virginia at convincing 4-0 starts, Pittsburgh and South Florida at 3-1, UConn on the rise as a school seemingly committed to its football program, and Syracuse registering a pulse for the first time since Donovan McNabb graduated, you've got to admit the Big East so far is making a better showing than the ACC.
But Rutgers at 4-0 has got to be the biggest surprise so far, cracking the AP Top 25 for the first time since Jesus died.
I've witnessed the Garden State's mad obsession with high school football first hand and have always wondered why the state school in New Jersey couldn't field a better team.
It comes down to recruiting of course, and Jersey has been historically raped and pillaged of its star prospects like a feudal fiefdom each recruiting season by the ACC, SEC, Big 10, Notre Dame and other Big East schools. I think even the Ivy League steals a recruit or two from Rutgers.
But with a winning season in sight (they're legitimately a 3 loss team, with luck even better), and a Bowl Bid in the offing, the recruiting should pick up and we might see a good thing going in Jersey as well as the Big East.
