ECU's upset gives hope to league teams
In knocking off then-15th ranked Virginia Tech last weekend, East Carolina spread a little inspiration all around Conference USA - literally, all the way from Greenville to El Paso.
And really, most of the league's team's can use all the inspiration they can get, for this may be the toughest week of the nonconference schedule.
That begins at ECU, where the Pirates are scheduled to take on eighth-ranked West Virginia. Southern Mississippi travels to No. 9 Auburn, Texas-El Paso plays host to No. 10 Texas, Tulane visits No. 13 Alabama and Central Florida welcomes No. 17 South Florida. Additionally, Houston faces a tough test at Oklahoma State.

Because the Big East can't wait to add a school that has one conference championship and zero bowl wins, and duplicates a market they already cover with USF. Their fans are so green to the sport that they seriously think they invented jumping around to "Zombie Nation" before kick-offs. Must not watch a lot of college football.
