Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 14637, member: 289"] If West Vriginia had beaten a 4-7 Pittsbrugh team in their own backyard in 2007 and if Texas had not been awarded a second chance at a field goal vs. Nebraska in the Big 12 title game in 2009, the Big East would have put two teams in the national title game in three years. Cincinnati would have gotten killed by Alabama but West Virginia would have been playing Ohio State, not LSU in 2007 and I think they might have won. Also Virignia Tech in 1999, West Virignia in 1988 and Pittsburgh in 1976 all played for the national title with teams comperable to the 1987 Syracuse team and Pitt won. We are in a good situation if get really good and have a dream season again. But the situation seems about to change. [/QUOTE]
