Louisville Football picked to finish 7th in the Big East

WOW!

According to the media, Louisville is only going to be better than bottom-feeder Syracuse in the big East Conference this year in football.

That hurts.

What I think is a bit surprising is that it's really not even close.

Louisville got 69 points in the poll. Sixth-place UConn received 97 points.

That tells me that LOTS of Big East media had Louisville this low.

The sliver lining is that no media member picked the Cards to finish last, as Syracuse got the lowest amount of point possible by the media.

If Tom Jurich's statement to the Athletic Association Board wasn't enough, now the expectations are even lower.
