I think that the C-USA is a little over-hyped, while the Big East is under-rated. Maybe Tulsa is that good, but to have UCF and UTEP in front of USF is an insult to our program, especially after what we did last year. Most media have jumped on the UCF band-wagon because the went 8-5 in C-USA against East Carolina, Houston, and Rice. USF on the other hand went 6-6 against a much better schedule that included 7 bowl teams, Penn St, UCF, Louisville, Miami, Rutgers, West Virginia, and NC State. That record is very decieving and to say USF was an ok team is a shame. But when its all said and done this is a PRE-SEASON poll, which the reporters often change quickly after the first week of games. So let's just see how it all plays out.
