Tonight is the single-most important game the Big East has seen in a few years. Think I'm overstating the significance of West Virginia-Louisville? There's a reason it is the only college game tonight. There's a reason national media is focused on the game as intensely as they are. The winner of this game becomes a heavy favorite for the national title game, especially if it turns out to be a victory for West Virginia.
This game actually could impact UConn. It's a stretch, but humor me, OK? Louisville loses tonight. And again next week against Rutgers. Three weeks later when UConn visits Louisville, the Cardinals may have already accepted a bowl bid since, with two losses, they would be out of the BCS picture. Just like last year, wouldn't play key players, increasing the Huskies' odds at winning. In that scenario, UConn would have to win two of their previous three games: Pittsburgh, at Syracuse and Cincinnati. Likely? No. Possible? You bet.
