Big East Game of the Week 2008
Game of the week rules: looking for the most intriguing (not always the most important) game, home conference games only, every team must appear at least once.
Saturday, August 30
Syracuse at Northwestern
The continuing story of trying to find the bottom BCS football team.
Monday, Sept. 1
Fresno State at Rutgers
A big challange for the BullDogs that are living up to their anywhere anytime attitude.
Saturday, September 6
Cincinnati at Oklahoma
The Bearcats are an interesting up and coming team that has been scheduling up in their OOC games (Ohio State and Virginia Tech in recent years) and while this may very well be an win for the Sooners Brian Kelly is bring this team along to respectability.
Saturday, September 13
Virginia at Connecticut
How does the Huskies and Cavs match up?
Thursday, September 18
West Virginia at Colorado
A Thursday night coming out party for the Buffs or will the Mountaineers prove their name in the shadow of the Rockies?
Saturday, September 20
Iowa at Pitt
How far down is Iowa after the off the field problems?
Friday, September 26
Connecticut at Louisville
The Cards have quickly gone from contenders to also-rans. Steve Kragthorpe entered 2007 with high expectations and UConn was the surprise 2nd place in 2007.
Thursday, October 2
Pitt at South Florida
This game will determine who has a more meaningful game late in the season. At minimum this will determine #2 maybe even #1.

Rutgers at Cincinnati
Jockeying for position in a conference where their maybe a lot of parity.
Saturday, October 18
Connecticut at Rutgers
Thursday, October 23
Auburn at West Virginia
National showcase game for the WVU and the conference with an interesting twist: IF WVU wins this game finishing 12-0 and the Tigers then go on the win the SEC finishing 12-1 (assuming loses by other top teams), could this add up to a rematch in the BCS Championship Game?
Saturday, November 1
Louisville at Syracuse
The battle to not come in last place? Greg Robinson’s game preparation might include updating his resume and figuring out how to put the best spin on his years in upstate New York.
Saturday, November 8
Cincinnati at West Virginia
The Bearcats last won in Morgantown in 2003 against another first year coach.
Saturday, November 15

Saturday, November 22
Pitt at Cincinnati
The scramble for second place continues.
Friday, November 28
West Virginia at Pitt
Which team will have more fans in the stands at ketchup stadium?
Thursday, December 4
Louisville at Rutgers
This will not be a repeat of 2006.
Saturday, December 6

Looks like the key game of the season here in July but six months have a way of changing things.
