NEWPORT, R.I. - For the second straight season, the University of Louisville was picked to finish second in the BIG EAST Conference football standings in a preseason poll of media representatives who cover the league teams on a regular basis during the conference's 2007 media day activities on Tuesday. West Virginia was tabbed as the league favorite by the media earning 20 of the 24 first-place votes in the preseason poll.

Louisville registered a 12-1 overall record and finished sixth in the final Associated Press Poll and seventh in the final USA Today Poll. Steve Kragthorpe begins his first season as head coach in '07 and returns a talented corps of players led by senior quarterback and Heisman Trophy candidate Brian Brohm.
