[Cicero]

Absolutely horrible. You are telling me that 6 of the toughest schedules come from the Big Least?

[MuchoBulls]

There is no reason to take stock in that ranking. It is based off of last years results.

While I can see where Cicero is coming from, the Big East does play some quality OOC games, so that should help the overall strength of schedule, but not as much as Dodd thinks.

[Cicero]

Dennis Dodd is a flacid penis.
