Analysis: The Pirates are in the top part of most rankings, their lowest being #46 in 10+Win%. They play a decent amount of games at home for a team that plays as many BCS teams as they do, being in the CUSA. Their usual schedule, at least 2002, is nearly all BCS teams, mainly above average, half on the road & half at home. Solid.

Fact: East Carolina has played 34 games against BCS conference opponents, and all but 2 of those were against the ACC or Big East (they played the SEC’s Alabama in 1998 & South Carolina in 1999).

Fact: 27 of East Carolina’s 40 opponents have been Duke, NC State, North Carolina, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest, and West Virginia, located an average of just 160 miles from Greenville, NC.

2008 Outlook: About as challenging as it gets - @ Virginia won’t be easy, @ NC State might not be too bad, a visit from West Virginia will be tough, and Virginia Tech in Charlotte is gonna be hard.
