It's time again for the SB Nation Big East Power Rankings. Did Pitt hang onto their No. 1 spot?
In a word - no. Pitt actually received the most No. 1 votes, but due to people like myself and Voodoo 5, Pitt slipped to second place. Here's my ballot:
1. Syracuse
2. UConn
3. West Virginia
4. Pitt
5. South Florida
6. Louisville
7. Rutgers
8. Cincinnati
I know, I know - fourth? Fourth? Well this doesn't mean I think Pitt is only the fourth best team in the Big East. But the rankings are based on some head to head matchups. Yes, Pitt beat Syracuse but Syracuse is 1 1/2 games ahead of the Panthers. UConn and Pitt have the same record and UConn beat Pitt.
West Virginia's another story - true, they haven't played Pitt, but Pitt's loss to UConn was, in a word, awful. WVU, meanwhile is looking better.
