Remember all of the crap I took for even suggesting that West Virginia might not deserve to be ranked in the top ten? Well, it’s all OK now. That’s allright, Chas. Apology accepted. Stop trying to play along with Lee.

Really, I felt justified even before the game, when the then-seventh-ranked team in the country was somehow a three point underdog to an unranked team. That math don’t add up, and I don’t care where the game’s being played.

But aside from the relatively unimportant matter of justifying Lee’s opinions, there’s little good that we Pitt fans can take from this. The Big East needed it’s champion to be ranked as highly as possible (remember that our champion has to finish in the top 12 over four years for us to retain our seat at the BCS).

Worse yet, of all the teams in the world that WVU could lose to, it had to be Virginia Tech — the lowest of the ACC defectors. At least Miami and Boston College never pretended to want to stay. A Big East team losing to the Hokies sucks in both Morgantown and Oakland. Oh well, at least VT deserved to win. I wasn’t much impressed with WVU. Nice discipline, Rodriguez.

Hail to the Big East Champion winding up in the top 12 anyways.
