So the Big East may give us a 7-5 Louisville as its BCS representative. Here I thought an 8-4 Connecticut last year was embarrassing. Now it's not official yet, but the Cardinals have finished the season with a 5-2 conference record and will end up in some sort of tie for the league crown. Who they are tied with will determine if Louisville is headed to the Orange Bowl or Fiesta...
