Weaker? Really? Using current Sagarin data and moving teams to their respective conferences, here is how everything plans out:
Conference (Central Mean) (Simple Mean) (Rank)
Current Big East (71.79) (72.14) (6th)
New Big East (74.28) (73.15) (5th)
Current ACC (73.07) (72.55) (5th)
New ACC (72.07) (72.29) (6th)
Pac12 (75.26) (75.41) (4th)
Big10 (75.27) (74.18) (3rd)

Eric, you blog about "Big East Expansion: Why Conference Will Still Suffer Compared to Rest of BCS" but give no supporting evidence. When actually, evidence shows the Big East will actually leap in front of the ACC in strength and be close to the Pac12 and Big10 in conference ranking. Using current Sagarin data and moving teams to their respective conferences, here is how everything plans out:
Conference (Central Mean) (Simple Mean) (Rank)
Current Big East (71.79) (72.14) (6th)
New Big East (74.28) (73.15) (5th)
Current ACC (73.07) (72.55) (5th)
New ACC (72.07) (72.29) (6th)
Pac12 (75.26) (75.41) (4th)
Big10 (75.27) (74.18) (3rd)
Big 12 takes a huge hit from the shakeup as well.
And besides the data, new and exciting rivalries will be formed. USF-UCF is already heated and has garnered national attention. UL-UCF already has heated exchanges going. Boise St vs the world has all kinds of attention. I think the Big East is taking all the correct steps to rise to prominance by bringing in better schools than it lost and by giving these new up and coming schools a chance.
