Meat Grinder: 3 ranked Big East teams lose to unranked conference opponents

Pitt (24) loses to Rutgers
Georgetown (15) loses to MU
Cincy (14) loses to St. Johns in Cincy

It's almost a cliche but rankings mean nothing in this league.

With all the talk about the future and the C7 and who is coming and going, it has been forgotten that the league is going to be brutal this year.

Good point.

My prediction is future b-ball historians will look back to the last year the BEAST was in existence being made even more noteworthy when EVERY SINGLE team made the NCAA tourny.

Pitt starts off 0-2.  They will be desperate for the home win.   Lets make 'em 0-3.

[MauraDay]

I think they have Gtown before us.

[LloydMooresLegs]

Let's make 'em 0-4 (as I will root for Gtown over Pitt).

rankings at this point are pretty meaningless (e.g., Pittsburgh who hasn't beat anyone).
