Look at who the teams biggest rivals are right now; Louisville/ Cincinnati, but after this year, many CARDS want W.Va. Rutgers/UConn, new but nasty. Pitt/W.Va. has always been #2 to Pitt. after Penn. ST. but that has faded a bit. Syracuse/Syracuse they are the aloof, who think they are better than everyone so no one need apply. My personal opinion, USF should be the CARDS biggest rival, as I believe USF will be a power in this league year after year and will be the team to beat. This will of course be disputed by Pitt. and W.Va.; we will just have to wait and see.

Decided to continue the original thread here as the other one got far off the subject; The CARDS have their thoughts about it here. P.S. Keg of Nails = Cincinnati http://mb17.scout.com/flouisvillefrm4.showMessage?topicID=23234.topic

There is also another Q.B. on the move; on the Fl. board; http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/football/sec/2005-12-09-florida-portis-transfer_x.htm

Looking ahead is costly The plan was laid out perfectly for South Florida. The Bulls needed only to defeat 4-5 Connecticut to set up a Big East championship game this Saturday at home against West Virginia. But South Florida surrendered to the cold and to Connecticut's defense in a 15-10 loss that spoils its bid to make its first-ever bowl game a BCS appearance. "Words cannot describe this loss," USF guard Chris Carothers told the Tampa Tribune. The Huskies shut down the Bulls' rushing attack, holding a team averaging 230 yards on the ground to just 83. "To be honest, as bad as we played tonight, to be in the game was probably amazing," USF coach Jim Leavitt. "We couldn't have made more mistakes in one game." South Florida's best chance came when Amarri Jackson returned a UConn punt to the Huskies' 9-yard line and then went when the Huskies held on a four-down stand that culminated in a sack that dropped USF quarterback Courtney Denson for a 13-yard loss. The defeat means the 6-4 Bulls' bowl future is uncertain. But Connecticut, which had lost four straight, can become bowl eligible with a win over Louisville on Saturday. "They have them up for dead," Huskies coach Randy Edsall said about his team, "but you know what, they are not dead."

That I believe is the point, a team has to be in the top twelve to keep its conf. in the BCS. NO way is USF going to make it into the top 12. It did not happen last year and if it doesn't happen this year, it may be BYE BYE Big East.

Just think, Central florida gets more votes in the wantabe section than you. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/football/ncaa/11/13/top25.ap/index.html

W.VA. beats USF, otherwise USF could become the 1st NON-RATED team this far into the season to go BCS. Just think USF would have to jump W.Va. Louisville and many GOOD dead bodies to reach #12. If this does happen, the SCRAP the BCS will be the name of the game. Look at TCU, they are 9-1 and can't BUY a vote.

96, What are you talking about, with loses to B.C./UCLA/CAL., Va. Tech. is overrated? Is that volleyball or what?

NEVER W.VA. CANE fan #1/ CARD fan #2

The 'rumor' is he got into an arguement with Paul Dee the A.D. on the plane ride back from Philly (Temple). You don't just fire a coach of this caliber because you like somone else better. Greg will have no problem finding another job but the CANES will miss him.

'Canes fire defensive line coach Mark By Omar Kelly Sun-Sentinel.com Posted October 17 2005, 5:01 PM EDT CORAL GABLES -- The Miami Hurricanes have fired Greg Mark, who has coached UM's defensive line since 1996, according to numerous sources. UM officials would neither confirm nor deny his removal, but Miami's players were told about his dismissal on Monday afternoon. After starring at UM during the late 1980's, becoming a former All-American who led Miami's 1989 national championship team with 15.5 sacks, Mark played two seasons in the NFL before entering the coaching ranks in 1992. He spent two seasons as a UM graduate assistant before moving on to Utah State as a full-time defensive line coach in 1995. In 1996 the Hurricanes brought him back, and he worked with UM's front line for nearly a decade. During his UM tenure, he developed the talent of six players -Warren Sapp, Kenard Lang, Kenny Holmes, Damione Lewis, William Joseph and Vince Wilfork - who have gone on to become first-round selections in the NFL draft. Calls to Mark's home were not returned. With only eight assistants on staff it's likely the Hurricanes will move quickly to add another coach. Possible replacements mentioned are Clint Hurtt, a former player and graduate assistant who is presently the defensive line coach at Florida International. If coach Larry Coker wants to remain within the UM family, it's also possible that former UM and NFL standouts Cortez Kennedy and Russell Maryland will get a look.

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/football/usatpoll.htm With W.Va. at 25, the game next week with the CARDS will have alot more meaning and should help with a move up to the winner.

NO

UCONN plays one of the weakest out of conf. schedules in Div. 1-a and it makes them feel good. Look what happens, when they do play good team (Ga.Tech.).

Rutgers always seems to run out of gas in the 2nd half, they did against ILL. and almost did against PITT. They will not beat W.Va. or Lou. and I think the BULLS can beat them, if they play hard all game.

I expect Lou. to move up 2-3 slots this week. About the stiff USF defense, everyones defense looks good against the CANES, it is because their offense has been lousy ever since Werner became O.C.  If, they ever get it going offensively they could be playing for championships again. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/college/hurricanes/sfl-mikec02oct02,0,7776136.story?coll=sfla-hurricanes
