If we stay undefeated and we continue to win big in impressive style we may get to about 8 going into a New Years Day Bowl. 

Depending on who we play and whether we win, could possibly get to 5 or 6 with a win or drop to about 12 to 15 with a loss. 

Although they say they try to look at things differently, voters look at teams at the way they think teams should look.

I think we'll crack the top 10 in AP but won't be in the top for CFP.  I think CFP committee will hold schedule and brand very much against us.

We need ranked opponents and large margin of victory. If Houston, Tulsa and Memphis can all be ranked when we play it would help our case as much as possible. That being said, if we crack the top 10 I would be amazed.

One of the ways that USF can improve it's poll numbers without playing OOC ranked teams, is to do comparatively better in our conference games against conference opponents who do play OOC ranked teams.

ECU, for example, plays ranked VT and WVU. If USF performs better against ECU than those other ranked teams, that would at least give voters some measure for comparison.

This is a link to a thread on the American BBS Board:

American vs Power teams 

The American has 17 games vs Power teams

Vs ACC- 4 games

UConn at Virginia
Boston College at UConn
Virginia Tech at ECU

Vs SEC 1 game
Mizzouri at UConn

Vs BigTen 3 games
UCF at Maryland
Illinois at USF
UC at Michigan 

Vs Big12- 5 games
ECU at West Virginia
Texas Tech at Houston
SMU at TCU
Tulane at Oklahoma
Tulsa at Oklahoma State

Vs PAC 2 games
Houston at Arizona
UCLA at Memphis

Vs Independent 2 games
Navy at Notre Dame
Temple at Notre Dame

Here's a thread hijacking question...IF everything goes according to the dream and we end up ranked #5 with a bowl win on New Years Day, where do we get ranked going into next season? Do we even get a preseason Top 25 ranking losing QF,  many many seniors, and possibly Coach Strong? I'm interested to see what everyone thinks..remember,  we end the season at #5 but lose everything mentioned above.

We need Houston and Yulsa to be ranked by the time we play tem. Thier rankings are like 34 and 41.

USF will be ranked #5 and just miss the last playoff spot while going 12-0 in the regular season. USF will then go on to beat Auburn in there Bowl game. USF will be in a new conference the following year. :GoBulls:

After losing QF and other important seniors, I think we're an 8 win team at best next year. So no, I don't think we'd be ranked. QF is the heart and soul of the team, he's that important.
