Big East What To Watch: Week 5

Here’s a weird note for the week: As a whole, the Big East is playing 10 Major Seven conference opponents this week, and none of them are ranked in the Associated Press poll. Five of those games are against the Big 12, as the new scheduling alliance challenge begins this week. Things are a little haphazard in that event this year, as some of the games were previously scheduled before the challenge was announced. We’ll see if the whole thing is aligned into one day on the non-conference calendar down the road, but for now, we’ll see some games this week and more of them next week.
