Down The Drive, a Cincinnati Bearcats community

Once again, West Virginia has a stranglehold on the top of the poll, but after that everything gets very, very ugly. Syracuse is sitting pretty in second place and based on their resume, they certainly deserve to be there. However, I doubt anyone actually believes they are the second best team in the conference. As Meacham pointed out to me, beating USF may have raised up the Orange, but losing to Syracuse meant the Bulls got a one-way ticket to last place.
