They outscored UConn, a tough game with WV, and just outscored Illy ... Pitt will score some points and is the best team UC will play in the regular season. A defacto Big East championship game, I love it.
Clearing this up
There seems to be some fan confusion about the UC-Pitt game and how it impacts the BCS bid.
This is from the Big East:
*Cincinnati has clinched at least a share of its second straight BIG EAST championship.
*The Dec. 5 game between Cincinnati and Pittsburgh at Heinz Field will determine the BIG EAST's automatic qualifier in the Bowl Championship Series.
*A Cincinnati win would give the Bearcats a two-game lead in the final conference standings and the outright BIG EAST title.
*A Pittsburgh win would result in a tie for the BIG EAST championship between Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. *Pittsburgh would earn the automatic BCS bid on the basis of the head-to-head result against Cincinnati.
The Cincinnati-Pittsburgh game will be the first head-to-head game for the BIG EAST's BCS bid in the final week of the season in league history
