Big East Week 9 Preview and Predictions [1]

Louisville's Charlie Strong prepares for showdown with Cincinnati

The three-game round robin between Cincinnati, Louisville and Rutgers may still determine the Big East championship, but some of the luster is gone after the MAC bit the Big East again this season as Toledo upset previously undefeated Cincinnati last week.

Teddy Bridgewater keeps Louisville among the undefeated

The Big East race may still be between three teams, but the race lost its luster less than a week before one of the marquee games of the season for the league.

Thank Cincinnati for that.

Big East Week 8 Preview and Predictions [13]

Ryan Nassib and Syracuse face must-win against UConn

Here’s the good news for the Big East for the second half of the season: The league has three nationally ranked, undefeated teams in Louisville, Rutgers and Cincinnati who will all face each other in the final month. For a conference struggling for national relevance, this round robin will be a breath of fresh air.

Big East Week 7 Preview and Predictions [16]

Charlie Strong is looking for more from his struggling pass rush

The Big East favorites are well established with Cincinnati, Louisville and Rutgers are vying for the top spot.

The middle of the league is a different story. Syracuse’s 14-13 upset of Pittsburgh last week and Temple’s 37-28 upset of USF shook up the Big East’s second tier. This week may establish more clarity.

College Football's One-Year Coaching Tenures: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly [17]

Alabama's Nick Saban was one of many legendary coaches with short stints

After Arkansas’ 24-7 dismantling of Auburn on Saturday, coach John L. Smith has a reason to smile. Sure, it’s been a disappointing season for the coach who will likely spent only one season at Fayetteville, but at least a bowl game remains a possibility now

For Arkansas, Smith’s one-year tenure will be one of the most painful single seasons in recent years. For fans outside of Arkansas, it’s at least been one of the more intriguing one-year coaching situations.

Big East Post-Week 6 Power Rankings [38]

Khaseem Greene takes top spot among Big East defenders

The Big East continues to battle uncertain times, but at least the league as a bona fide race for the title among three ranked teams. No. 16 Louisville, No. 19 Rutgers and No. 25 Cincinnati are all in the AP poll, giving the Big East three ranked teams for the first time since the end of the 2009 season.

Big East Week 6 Preview and Predictions [39]

Athlon previews Week 6 action in the Big East.

Oddly enough, Big East play begins in earnest Friday when the two outgoing teams, Pittsburgh and Syracuse, face off in the Carrier Dome.

Thanks to some key non-conference games and the two Big East games in the month of September, the league has a pretty good idea of its top contenders (Louisville, Cincinnati and Rutgers), but conference play gives other teams a chance to reboot their seasons, perhaps as soon as this week.

Cincinnati, Rutgers putting pressure on Louisville at the top

National recognition for the Big East is starting to make a comeback -- if incrementally and only for the top three teams in the league.

Big East Post-Week 4 Power Rankings [41]

Rutgers' Khaseem Greene helped shock Arkansas

Rutgers’ road win over a team that lost in overtime to Louisiana-Monroe and 52-0 to Alabama saved the Big East further embarrassment in Week 4.

Only a week after the Big East went 3-0 against ACC schools, the Big East flopped Saturday with two losses on the road against MAC teams and two losses against vulnerable Big East teams on the road. Even league favorite Louisville struggled at times on the road at Florida International.
