The Syracuse Post-Standard puts out a Big East media poll the day before Big East media day. They've continued the tradition this year. If they didn't, there wouldn't be a post about it now. The poll shows the clear divide in the elite part of the Big East and the rest.
Louisville receives a unanimous first place selection. Syracuse nearly sweeps the second place voting, as appears to be the case with Notre Dame. Cincinnati and Pitt are the last 2 teams before the drop off and jumble.
Here are the writers' Big East predictions (points were assigned with one for a 1st-place vote, two for a 2nd-place vote and so on):
1. Louisville 15 (15 1st-place votes)
2. Syracuse 33
3. Notre Dame 49
4. Cincinnati 63
5. Pittsburgh 78
6. Georgetown 97
7. Marquette 109
8. South Florida 123
9. Connecticut 159
10. St. John's 163
11. Rutgers 167
12. Villanova 171
13. Providence 176
14. Seton Hall 188
15. DePaul 209
