1. Pitt-West Virginia: The "Backyard Brawl" finally became a rivalry again with Pitt's stunning 13-9 upset in 2007.
2. Louisville-West Virginia: The teams waged epic battles in each of the last three seasons, but it won't be as intense without Bobby Petrino and Brian Brohm.
3. South Florida-West Virginia: This recent rivalry might eventually become "the game" in Big East play.
4. Rutgers-West Virginia: Scarlet Knights coach Greg Schiano is still looking for his first win after seven tries against the Mountaineers.
5. Rutgers-Pitt: Schiano once worked for Pitt's Dave Wannstedt when he coached the NFL's Chicago Bears.
