I'm sorry, in a head to head contest we beat Navy...I feel like I'm taking crazy pills 

I was being sarcastic. The rankings are stupid. People wrote us off when we lost to temple, not being written back in this year with no more big games.

How the hell is Navy in front of us???!!!

Navy only has 2 losses and one of those is against a dominant air force team. Plus their strength of schedule is much tougher than ours.

Virginia tech also deserves to be ranked. They lost to a very good Syracuse team that would pound us.

USF has a basketball team???

Ugh, Birmingham was not fun last time we were there...except for the actual game. That town is craptastic. But I'll go if that's where we get stuck.

miami was fun but that bowl needs a better opponent. The Birmingham bowl was craptastic as the town in not very nice and the stadium is really crappy, but I would still prefer that.

In the Big East, St.Pete and Birmingham were our two worst bowl games and now they are our best. Birmingham  will likely be our conference champion against a 6-6 or 7-5 SEC team that is barely bowl eligible. St. Pete will be our 2nd in conference vs. a 6-6 or 7-5 ACC team that is bowl eligible. If USF doesn't  make the conference championship game I could see St. Pete taking us and putting the conference championship loser in Annapolis due to proximity.

Both ESPN writers have the Bulls in St. Pete vs. Boston College. This could be a big game for us. They got their first ACC win in the last two years this past week over NC State and gave Cuse a good game. They would have to beat Wake and UCONN to get bowl eligible however and I don't think they are better than those two teams.

Playing along with the supposition that Flowers could actually be in the running for a Heisman, the unfortunately reality is that Lamar Jackson does everything Flowers does, either as good or better, and definitely against superior competition.  As long as LJ is around, which he should be for at least one more year (as will Flowers), he'll pretty much take every headline that QF would get.  

LJ had a terrible game last week...I believe he threw 3 picks. QF is great in our offense but I do not think he has the arm for a heisman

Not entirely surprised. Our depth chart at rb is daunting. We still have elijah Mack, sands, and the other rb recruit bell is a speed demon on top of Mack and d Johnson. Going to be hard to play early at that position.

The Huskies couldn't beat a set of traffic cones...not expecting much.

Yep, second place in the East again for USF.

Well played!

According to the article in today's Times, ..."Davis said he considered North Carolina and Miami, but after visiting Gainesville last summer, he was convinced that was the school for him. ...

Not one mention of USF.

We are not considered a viable option by the media of the kid has a p5 offer.

Yes.

 

So, our offense needs to be ready to score >55 points Friday night.  Should be fun.  Should be.

Going to be hard to do with the 4 possessions we get.

Well, we are pretty solid on RB talent, but this would have been a difference maker for us....

Unless we lose out, I think we are locked into the St. Pete Bowl. I'm thinking that we will play either Wake, NC State, or Ga. Tech.

What's his point? WE are an old conference USA team? So is Louisville, Cincinnati, and Houston... The records say this is one of our best teams ever. What did the '07 team accomplish again???

Some people need to humbly move on with their lives. It seems really classless to kick your Alma Mater when they lose a game on the road.

He feels the same way that many Bulls fans feel. We are in a crap conference that we should easily dominate...we are not. Nothing to see here, move on and hope the Bolts have a good year. Sad that we are in this position but we are.

We can still won 10 games for the first time our bowl game will stink but that is something

. . . didn't help endear ourselves to the local media and Joe Tampa tonight. We've got to respond against Navy. I'm hoping our run defense flips some miracle switch.

I'm predicting 15k max top watch that slaughter.

Bowling is a joke in the conference

 

its NY6 or bust 

 

no chance I'm at st Pete bowl

Not excited about playing Wake Forest in a falling down baseball stadium?

Think we are a lock for St. Pete now...the opponent is all we are waiting to find out.

Can't tackle and fall for the double move every time, play way too off the receivers.  Defensive scheme has been awful all year

From top 20 defense to bottom 20 in one year...losing hardly any players...we would be undefeated with an average defense.

We lose when it matters most every single time and wonder why we can't get fans, It's masochism being a Bull!

Chance to turn the corner on national TV, get ranked, and get some fans back. Lose. Can't seem to ever turn that corner.

This is up there with a cosh defense...only with better talent.
