and ramblings.

Looking at bowl games so far, where will they rank USF?

For me, although we won, I don't think we did much to improve our post season rankings. Somewhere right around 20 is where I think we'll end up.

Just my opinion, but I left that game disappointed. To play the first half as well as we did, to have SC come back and move the ball at will, just me. I know the defense has been discussed and dissected, and there's really nothing more to add. I just don't think we did anything to impress any of the voters.

Oh well, on to Feb. 1, 2017...     GO BULLS!

We were ranked and we won. Several teams around us in the rankings lost. FSU won last night and will end up in the top 10 but the Temple loss looks worse.  All in all we'll probably be between 18-22.

I think you are probably right. At best we're in the 18-19 area but I could see a 22-23 ranking as well. Not sure beating a 6-6 (although much improved from the beginning of the year) USCe in overtime is going to do a lot to our current ranking location.

The only way that we're ranked higher then 19 is with SEC bias and they reserve that for SEC teams. :icon_drink:

All that matters is they are ranked number 1...in our hearts. Great season and for once I'm not worried about rankings. We beat two P5's, we finished with 11 wins, and we have a few of the best players in the country. I'm going to enjoy this for a while and wherever they get ranked will be fine. We'll be the only AAC team ranked. 

100% agree.

Preason polls we will be ranked. With an 11-2 record, including a bowl win against SEC...plus we have a preason 2017 Heisman candidate...:GoBulls:

I'm pretty sure it's just AP and coaches.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
