Connecticut came out of nowhere to win the Big East in 2010. Last year, it was South Florida making a statement by punishing no. 16 Notre Dame on the opening weekend of football. There is no predicting this conference, but I’m going to try.

Offensive player of the year: RB Ray Graham
No surprise here.

Louisville is the lone Big East representative in the preseason AP Top-25 and one of only two ranked teams on Pitt’s schedule this season. The Panthers will play both opponents at home. Pitt’s chances of winning the Big East will hinge on those two games, and these other points.

Following the Steelers’ draft haul last month, there was considerable talk about how the team deviated from their tried and true ways, stepping boldly into the new era of the NFL by embracing change and living—and drafting—for the now.

You can’t divide the Major League Baseball season into four whole parts—162 divided by four comes out to 40.5—but after last night’s game against Milwaukee, the Pittsburgh Pirates officially rounded the quarter turn of their 2013 season.
