With the announcement of the playoffs, things seem to be moving very fast... just read the Orange Bowl signed a contract with the ACC, good possibility the BE could lose that bowl, which would hurt big-time...

As a college football fan, I'm happy to see this finally happen, as a USF fan, wait and see...

Good Luck Matt!!

The way I see it, using the 2007 formula as an example, USF will have to win 2 big games against top ranked (top 20) opponents and go undefeated in the conference in order to be in

the game... but to make it to the top 4, we are ALWAYS going to need help in the form of CHAOS from the other leagues... in 2007 we had a different number 1 every week, that helped

propel USF faster in the polls.

In the future, the new BE might have one or two teams ranked, lets say for example Boise St. and us, and if we play say a Florida or Michigan State on our O.O.C. schedule along with some "easier" games... we will be fine IF we win out, and get some help.

(2007 had WVU at #5 and Auburn at #18)

NO MATTER IF WE WERE IN THE BIG12 OR ACC USF would always need to go this route... UNLESS they adapt Conference Champs as a criteria for making the top 4, then all bets are off and we are DONE!!

Our road has not changed, just the prestige and how much money we receive has...

just my 2 cents... and I also want to go on record and say I think USF is in line to have a special year this year!!

He's a BULL!!! (for real this time)

beat me

:-)

Difficult to imagine it would not be USF, since he says he is coming to SuperBull next week.

think about how uncomfortable that weekend would be for all parties :-)

Las Vegas Bowl... I can get down with that one.

Neinas: "It's no secret. We meet and talk about the Big 5." That does not include Big East.

Not surprising, but a bit disturbing as a USF fan...

My idea of a good time:

i. Play just the tip with ESPN

ii. Reach around from Fox

iii. Ballz deep with NBC

now that's funny...

I still think this game sells out... will be many FSU fans there, my guess is 60/40 USF. I know a group of 40 trying to buy a "Block" that work at TGH,

Are group tickets available yet?

not thru USF that i am aware of... those are FSU fans from the hospital going thru FSU ticket office...

Steve Spurrier was asked about Florida State being picked No. 1 in a preseason mag: "They were last year too"

IF FSU comes into our house ranked number 1 in the country, we might actually see students camping out again... How amazing it will be to beat the number 1 team in the country in our own house!!!

I still think this game sells out... will be many FSU fans there, my guess is 60/40 USF. I know a group of 40 trying to buy a "Block" that work at TGH, FSU fans are scrambling for good seats as well as our fans... I hope for USF we sell this puppy out, it will be all the better to beat them with... muuuuhhaaaa muuuhhaaaaa

These latest developments certainly have the makings of the final wave of change... These are some BIG dominoes about to fall!! Hold on tight folks, this ride will not be for the faint of heart...

we win!!!

it's not over...

oops, saw that :-)

that was a sick play by the 3rd baseman!!

B12 went from zero's to hero's real quick!

Chuck Neinas is brilliant. If Marinatto knew anything about CFB, the Big East would have come out of this ahead of the B12.

Marinatto "Ronald Millerd" us...

This is the type of arraignment that must make ND a bit nervous... will be interesting to see who they partner up with as a fall back...

for us, we usually see more in the summer after the Flag Football tourney's...

He could be a nice addition if he gets his grades straight...

Oh schnizzle..

Good to see somebody publicly taking a stand against the status quo... NOT everybody is happy at FSU land, which means there at least is SOME truth to this chatter..

"Those Big 12 sources say there is no urgency to add one or two more schools and that if the 10-team league couldn't land a game changer (which Florida State would be), there's no reason to expand because of the 13-year granting of rights binding the league together."

either this writer is full of **** or UL ain't going to the B12

"I was also told that studies had been done looking at what value might be added if any of the original members of the Big East (Louisville, Cincinnati, etc.) would bring to the Big 12, and that report did not come back favorably, sources said."

Yikes...
