if the BE deserved a BCS bid before, replacing Pitt/cuse, who never even won the BE, with Air Force, Boise State, Navy, UCF, and east carolina.

Tell me how the BE is weaker than before?

Adding Air Force, Army and Navy would maintain it's AQ status. Can you imagine the BCS denying the BCS and national championship game to our future soldiers and sailors who are will make the ultimate sacrifice.

Good move. I'd like to see big ten and SEC fans try to claim that the service acadamies aren't good enough for the BCS.

Both of them have won and/or shared the BE title as well as represented the conference in a BCS bowl. 'Cuse in 1997 and 1998. Pitt went to a BCS bowl in 2004 and tied for the league championship last season.

Pitt has won the big East they played in the Fiesta bowl with a 8-5 record I believe.

I'll give you BSU but the rest are garbage. UCF and ECU are emerging programs and haven't proven anything on a consistent basis. You must be kidding about the academy schools. This isn't pre-Vietnam War Army. Academies are at a competitive disadvantage vs good BCS teams and don't even give me the Navy beat Notre Dame crap. BSU may not even take a BE invite so I don't know why you act like BE has the power to pick and choose what schools to bring in. It is evident that an unstable Big 12 is much more desireable than a Big East conference that segregates football and basketball partners. BE is a joke!

Boise going to the Big East now?

Holy crap, they are almost as close to Japan as the East Coast

Pretty sure Pitt did win it. I think they got stomped by Utah in the Fiesta.
