Tom Dienhart of The Sporting News has the skinny on Big East Football this year.

VT-Miami is set to be the conference game of the year, but who knows. They've said that the past two years, and Tech always seemed to pull up lame in November. VT loses points for playing UCF, James Madison (div II) and soon to be Big East football member Connecticut. On a brighter note, the Texas A&M-VT game should be a good Thursday night match up, and the Big East continues to develop as a conference.

With their first four games at home, November will be VT's real challenge, with Miami, at Pitt, at (cough) Temple, BC, and in-state rival, Virginia.
