[QUOTE="doctom4, post: 129295923, member: 1756333"] And I hold hard to the factual truth that Big East football was better than the Big XII; they won the majority head to head, especially in bowl games through the duration of the league. Anytime the Big East lost a bowl game to them big - which was all of twice in 20 years (OK/CT; KSU/SU), the wolves were out, but when it was reversed (WVU/OU, RU/KST), the Big XII was never deemed to be somehow inadequate or in trouble. Go back and watch. Truth is, when Big East teams ran the football, they dominated most of those games. And that's what WVU should have continued to do instead of trying to ape the Big 12 and run the offense that they see every day. This notion that Big XII football is somehow superior to what WVU had in the Big East for 20 years should have been crushed by last year's bowl season. The rest of the country is well ahead of the Big XII. The best thing about the Big XII is round-robin play, but the way the system's set up - we really don't need to do that. I'd prefer it for all conferences instead of conference title games, which sometimes put inferior teams in higher places, but that's not going to happen. [/QUOTE]
