Yes I know but I was looking at the last 5 years, and a

I think the BE gets a bum rap nationally and whenever someone names teams we've beaten (and legit teams), there's always excuses.  Your point isn't discounting what we've done the last 5 years, simply looking at it over a longer period of time.

You know what the major flaw in your argument though?  You're only looking at teams CURRENTLY in the Big East.  And it's not fair to include UCONN (who wasn't a 1-A team until 1997), doesn't have that long of a history, and most of their early history was transitioning to 1-A.  South Florida hasn't been around that long.  Louisville, Cincy, etc were in Conference USA prior to recent history.  Your argument is also NOT including wins by Virginia Tech, Miami, or Boston College when they were in the Big East.  So it's hard to make a fair assessment looking at more than recent history and talking about teams currently in the big east.  Too many changes have happened since then to make a reasonable argument there.  Miami won national titles as part of the Big East.  Va Tech was great when they were in the Big East.  BC had some good teams.  That can't be ignored.
