It's the season for pumpkin patches, pumpkin beers - and the season when Cinderella teams put in the work to move up in their leagues. Which Big East and American Athletic Conference teams - besides St. John's and Rutgers, of course - will challenge for NCAA berths?

Also, Rutgers' trip to and from the Big East; Dave shows his DePaul tattoo; and Marquette's ability to maintain excellence despite ever-changing rosters.

Join Dave of On the Banks and Norman of Rumble in the Garden as they go a little long, chatting about:

  1. 1:00 A quick Big East primer, conference realignment catch-up, and why Rutgers came to the Big East late
  2. 9:35 The membership of the new Big East, post-split

  4. 19:15 Southern Methodist and Houston as wild cards in the American Conference
  5. 24:35 Why Marquette for the top of the Big East? (we apologize for calling Deonte Burton a guard.)
