Are UConn and Cincinnati any good?
Are they quality teams? Are they better than Illinois and Michigan (or Wisconsin, depending on who you think the other 2 good teams in the B10 are)?
I'm trying to figure out how in the hell West Virginia is third in the BCS this week. How in the hell were we behind them last week? And how in the hell did they jump Missouri?
Is beating UConn and Cincinnati all that impressive? They're [censored]ing UConn and Cincinnati. UConn actually lost to Temple!
So I'm asking all of BP. You guys have probably seen them more than I have. Are they actually good.....or do they just have nice records against [censored]ty BigEast teams?

Cincy is up-and-down. Best team in the Big-East one week, mediocre the next. I don't really know much about UConn. They seem to rely on not making mistakes and forcing them from the other team in order to make up for their lack of talent. They'd probably be a middle of the pack team in the Big-10 with MSU and Indiana.

This year's UConn will be better than last year's squad. Jim Calhoun will make sure of that. Intensity and defense will be their strength. The offense might be spotty.
The Bearcats are pretty young. Vaughn is an emerging star and Davis could be the 3pt threat they need to open things up.

Uconn lost to UVA by 1 point and to UC iirc. Also, WVU hasn't beaten them yet.

The Bucks would have a challenge with UC, UConn, and WV for a little bit, but end up beating all of them by 7 points or more. UConn they would beat by about 17, because they have the type of offense that the Bucks just plain shut down.
As was noted, we are rooting for UConn next week to beat WV in Morgantown. Not likely, but they are good enough to warrant "some" hope.

So with our loss being to a better team than WVU, and our wins being to better teams than WVU, and our competition being very similar (and very [censored]ty).....how the [censored] are they #3 in the BCS?
