Now why exactly does our Big East Champion sign one and done game with an average SEC team? I know we did this with Notre Dame but that is Notre Dame. A rebuilding Tennessee team? What kind of payday did that require? It just makes our conference look bad when teams accept these deals.

Because beating any SEC team in their house looks good. And Tennessee is still a pretty good brand name.

i.e. us beating Auburn.

By the time they play tennesse, they may have a really good team again.

And if you want an example of a team that has a weak OOC, look at Rutgers. We at the least got  FSU and Miami to play

and the usual loss against Rutgers every year.  Even with the weak OOC, what does it say about USF if they can't beat Rutgers? ;D

I guess we could look at it as you guys saving your legs for us and us getting beat up before we get to the conference games. 

We're 10-0 OOC the last 2 seasons (regular seson) with wins @Auburn, UNC, @NC State and Kansas.  The last 2 years you guys lost to the only 2 BCS OOC games you played (Maryland and UNC), and also lost to Navy and Fresno State.  So you're right that we have lost 3 straight to Rutgers and we hope to better this year, but last I checked you guys have the same # of conference titles we have and your biggest wins have been over us and Louisville.

Whateve makes you happy.  The facts is USF chokes evey year once they get into league play.  USF is a .500 team in the BE.  RU is moe likely to win a BE title befoe USF.

Maybe we'll do it your way and choke before we get to Big East play.

good deal for cincy, not only is it a big name SEC team, although they have been down, its a close OOC game,

easy for the Bearcat faithful to travel to.

I would rather play the worst BCS conference teams over the like of Wofford, Charleston Southern, and Western Kentucky...

    With the climate going on in NCAA athletics, you’re either moving forward at a hard pace or you’re not. I think what intrigued me the most is they’re very determined to become a big player nationally.
