LOL Our collective take on this appears to be "the risk isn't worth the return". We won't get enough benefit from a win to offset the potential downside of a loss. And we wonder why it's so

So someone else hinted at this on Facebook earlier and I think it can be done.  UCiF won't reschedule their game with GaTech this year, and both GaTech and USF have October 7th off for a bye week

After seeing how the D performed on Friday with only 3 days of prep doesn't have me worried about preparing for GT on "short notice" (would be like any other game prep since @ECU is on a Saturday).

We are currently only giving up 89.3 yards/game via the run; gave up only 67 to Illinois (45 in one run), 96 to Stony Brook (54 in one run), and 109 to SJSU. Yes, the trend of decreasing rushing yards/game will not continue all season, but I am not concerned at all about our run defense.

Any opportunity we can get to improve our SOS is beneficial.  

If SDSU goes undefeated they are getting the NY6. 

 If we can add this game we should, but we can't so we won't.

How about a neutral site game with SDSU on Nov 11.  A playoff game of sorts for the  NY6 Bid.  ESPN should be all over this

I can't see how any USF fan would NOT want a 12th game, especially one against a P5 school. GT, UF, UM and FSU all lost a scheduled game. We have a legit shot at beating any of those teams. 

Harlan should be doing everything he can to get a 12th game.

not happening... No school is going to schedule a likely loss to accommodate USF wanting 12 games.
