In terms of football, this team will be just fine within a year or two. With Louisville and Rutgers leaving, we currently have the top recruiting class within the conference, plus there are multiple 4 star and one five star prospect that are all still considering USF. Skip left this team with no QB's, one RB, one soft receiver (Davis), literally no Tight Ends, a terrible offensive line, a terrible secondary, two good linebackers, and a few good d-lineman. You can already see how some of the younger guys like Tice,Godwin, and Harris are already outperforming most of the older guys, and thats a good thing. As for all of Athletics, I give Woulard a little more credit then most on here. The Skip Holtz contract extention was a bone-head move but everyone makes mistakes. The Sun Dome has been renovated under his watch, the basketball team made the NCAA's and won a few games (not to mention that they have a chance to make another run this year), Soccer is always good, and most of the other sports are ussually competitive. We won't be in the AAC for long either, expecially if UCF stays at a high level. There is no other rivalry combo in the nation that one of the Big 5 conferences could get that could outdo that, not even close. I still think the Big 12 will come knocking sooner than later, ACC if they lose some teams, and I would'nt be shocked if the Big 10 gave us a look too, considering that they wanted into Florida too.

With only 60 teams at or over .500 and 70 bowl slots to fill, you may get your wish for 5-7 AND a bowl game.

Honestly it may not be a bad thing that Louisville lost for two reasons. Even though its UCF, we really need the conference champ to not be a team that is leaving the AAC next year (Louisville,Rutgers). It really hurt when West Virginia smashed Clemson and then were gone. The other is that in CFB teams that blow their undefeated record and NC chances often times tailspin. Northwestern, Georgia Tech, and Ole Miss all have done this already and it would'nt shock me if Louisville came in flat next week. What its going to come down to is Turnovers. In the 1st 4 games we had 11 and in the last 2 games we have only had 2.

Hi guys. I'm new here but am a big time Bulls fan that tries to go to all the home games and watches every one that on TV that I can't get to. The odds of the Bulls going 6-6 is obviously very low at this point, but I think a bowl game is still a very realistic. Currently there are 60 teams that are either at a .500 winning percentage or better (excluding Penn St.) and their are 70 spots to fill for the 35 bowl games. After checking out some schedules, I am pretty sure that there will be arround 6 - 8, 5-7 teams that will make bowls this year. USF currently holds the 6th best (shocking, I know) best record within the conference and ussually the lower end bowls select teams with big markets that played well within their conference. Memphis has an offense almost as bad as ours and SMU has one of the worst defenses in the country and both are beatable. I'm keeping the faith and even a low tier bowl game would be awesome for the Bulls considering the way the season started.
