South Florida and Cincinnati didn’t want to wait until 2014 to shake up the Big East.
The 16th-ranked Bulls have roared to a 4-0 start and the surprising Bearcats (3-1) are one victory away from matching their entire win total from a year ago.
West Virginia (3-1) and Pittsburgh (2-2), picked to finish first and second in the preseason, have looked vulnerable. The 22nd-ranked Mountaineers can’t run the ball and the Panthers have been slow to adapt to coach Todd Graham’s up-tempo system.
The announcement of Pitt and Syracuse’s eventual departure for the ACC in 2014 has added a level of intrigue for a conference race that looks considerably more wide open than it did a month ago, even if the players insist the conference realignment is an afterthought when they’re on the field.
