The first group of scores was more important to me because wew ill be playing those teams, (although we'll be playing Tulane, too). But I no longer looked at the Big East scores as "us" and no longer felt that our reputation is tied to theirs. I've always been an "all boats rise with the tide" guy and rooted for conference emmbers not because I felt a senitmental attachment to them but felt it would help Syracuse if they won because it would help the conference. That's gone now, until we are actually playing the ACC, and even then there will be no sense desperation over the conference's BCS standing.  When LSU scored a couple of late TDs to turn the West Virginia game into a rout, I really didn't feel anything. A couple of weeks ago, I would have been very frustrated. The second group isn't "us" yet but the first group no longer is. We are in limbo but going to a good place.
