fact is the big east will never be on the big 10s level, let alone the other 3 major conferences. the acc is better than the big east also. while you may be "closer" this year that is due to the big 10 being seen as a 1 or 2 team conference. every conference is a 1 or 2 team conference. the big east just happens to be a 0 team conference with no hope of ever being in a title game, let alone competing on the national stage as a conference.
The big 10 has been seen as that for what seems like years now and their 2nd team just got blasted at home by iowa. Also to call the beast a 0 team conference is idiotic, Uc is ranked #10 and USF just handled FSU on its home turf to move to 4-0.
every school has a counter for whatever reason. iowa has psu's number for years now.
the pac 10 is a one school conference on the national stage, though other schools crop up occasionally. big 12 has 2-3 schools who are on the national stage (with which team it is varying from year to year), though they cant play defense at all so they go nowhere. big 10 has 3 schools who traditionally show up on the national stage, though michigan had a down year last year (was only 2 years ago they were #1/2 with osu going into the final game of the year and by rights everyone knew they were still the best 2 teams in the nation. sec gets the most fanfare recently so they apparently have the most teams on the national stage come bowl time. the acc has zero teams on the national stage. the big east has zero teams on the national stage. and when they do get a team that can make it to bowl time with 0-1 losses its always a different team than 5 years ago when they last had a good team.
ohh, and the acc is laughable, beating fsu is nothing to be excited about outside of its another W.
