Big East Bowls

The Big East Conference announced deals with the Papajohns.com Bowl and Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl yesterday. The deals extend the Big East’s involvment with those bowls through 2013. Additionally, they announced a deal with the AutoZone Liberty Bowl that allows the conference to send a team to that bowl instead of the Papajohns.com Bowl at least once during the next 4 years.

If the Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl sounds new to you, that’s because it used to be the St. Petersburg Bowl.

The Big East Bowl lineup will now look like this:

BCS Bowl – Big East Champion
Champs Sports Bowl – Big East vs. ACC
Meineke Car Care Bowl – Big East vs. ACC
New Era Pinstripe Bowl – Big East vs. Big 12
Papajohns.com Bowl/AutoZone Liberty Bowl – Big East vs. SEC or C-USA
Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl – Big East vs. C-USA

The 2010 Big East Bowl Season will be as follows:

Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl – 12/21/10, 8:00 PM, ESPN
Champs Sports Bowl – 12/29/10, 8:00 PM, ESPN
New Era Pinstripe Bowl – 12/30/10, 3:00 PM, ESPN
Meineke Care Car Bowl – 12/31/10, Noon, ESPN
AutoZone Liberty Bowl – 12/31/10, 3:30 PM, ESPN
Papajohns.com Bowl – 1/8/11, Noon, ESPN

All in all, it’s a pretty impressive bowl lineup. The Big East set out to structure its bowl season so that it included top opponents and attractive locations. From the looks of this lineup, I’d have to say that they did a pretty good job.

In just three days, Pitt will take the field in its second bowl game under Dave Wannstedt, their seventh postseason game in the past decade. With a win, the Panthers can rack up their first 10 win season since 1981. It’s a poor consolation prize after coming within a single point of playing in the [...]

Pitt fell to Cincinnati on Saturday by a single point. The Panthers led most of the game, but were unable to hang on for the win at the end. It’s a disappointing and costly loss for Pitt, as they lost the Big East Championship and a bid to the Sugar Bowl. Now that the smoke [...]

So my guess is that there are a lot of upset Pitt fans this Monday morning. The BCS Rankings came out yesterday and, even with all of the upsets this weekend, Pitt only moved up one spot to 12th. The Panthers did, however, move up a bit more in the AP Poll and ESPN/USA Today [...]
