Atlanta Bull

I think the USF/ucf game should always be played at a neutral site not on either campus in a well built stadium, Raymond James Stadium.

I also hate Dabo and his big mouth. So my weekend is off to a tremendous start and I'm going to a Whiskey tasting tonight. If USF wins, I'll drink alot of Whiskey. If they loose, I'll drink more.

I cannot stand Mike Leach so I'm a happy camper after the demoralizing WSU loss. When he was on Sirius XM College Football he trashed USF back in the major realignment days a few years ago. His teams put up points but don't play D. That said if he gets fired from WSU and there is a HC opening at USF, I'd take him in a heartbeat just to get a copy of his playbook.

Mostly agree but if a lot of upsets happen and we beat ranked UCF and Navy teams I think our chances improve to one in 175M.

FWIW, here are my top 25 upset picks for today: 1. WVU over #24 TT. I like the Eeers at home in a shootout. 2. GTech over #11 Miami. Jackets running game so tough, especially if they get a ahead and can control time of possession. 3. Texas over #12 OU. Just a gut call but I think this is Herman's first big win at UT. 4. LSU over #10 Auburn. The Tigers looked alot better last week and the game is in death valley. I think Orgeron saves his job with this win.

Wow, throw in a ranked UCF and Navy and we 'coulda been a contenda'. Still have to take care of our own business and we never have, ever.

If B12 had added USF & UCF, based on this weeks polls, they would have SIX teams in the top 25. And not one of those teams is Texas. They would have also added a very large combined TV Market. Then they could have added a CCG and made a ton more on tv advertising. It is what it is, but Texas/B12 made a huge mistake not adding the FL teams. Oh yea and having a better recruiting message for FL kids.CFB Rankings

It's baaaack! There will be lots of speculation on what happens to UofL. B12 already did a study on USF and said no. FL already has two ACC teams but TX has 4 B12 teams and CA has 4 PAC 12 teams. Can I get a slight chance in hell(1%)? UConn will no doubt be putting out a presser soon how they are the best candidate. Death penalty is the only savior for the dumpster fire that is U of L men’s basketball

Bobby always seems to have one foot out the door. The new AD will no doubt want to 'clean things up' for a while. However, the Cards are starving for football success and that's why Bobby was asked to come back. Bobby always wins and unless he screws things up, he will be the coach. This is their best way out of the mess. They will pay him whatever he wants to stay, he has even more leverage. That said, now that the FBI is up the Cards ass they could start looking at all the programs and want to make UofL an example. In that case Bobby will have a job in a week at TN, MS, SC, LSU, etc.

Booger was 'Hot For Teacher' , one of the weirdest things I've ever heard an announcer say. Sounded like he forgot where he was and thought he was talking to his homies after a few brews and a big doobie.

hard to find rhythm running 25% of your plays up the middle behind a poor offensive line. Q must lead the country in dropped balls, at least two or three a game are perfect strikes, whoever is recruiting and coaching these WRs should be embarrassed, CCS needs to make a change there

Wasn't Booger hired by ESPiN from the SEC Network? He is actually getting paid more than he was before!

was thinking Joey G. was packing heat and heading to Ybor after the game to work on his two step. he also needs to wear high heals when he's standing next to taller dudes, he makes Charlie Strong look like the Jolly Green Giant

CBS no longer projects USF in a NY6 bowl, that spot goes to SDST: https://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/bowls/predictions

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/college/ct-illinois-usf-preview-spt-0915-20170914-story.html Records: Illinois 2-0; USF 2-0. Last meeting: The programs have never met. Keys to the game Will South Florida struggle after a tough week? After Hurricane Irma forced the campus to close and the team to disperse, the Bulls did not practice from Sept. 7 until Tuesday. They had only three days to regroup and prepare for Friday's game at Raymond James Stadium. USF canceled its game last weekend at Connecticut as it braced for the storm. Will the Illini benefit from the Bulls being rusty? Will Mike Epstein keep it up? The freshman running back from Florida has made a quick impression, leading the Illini with 165 rushing yards and scoring two of their four offensive touchdowns. The Bulls allowed only 100.5 rushing yards per game in their first two. Can the Illini defense continue to take the ball away? Illinois is tied for 26th nationally with four takeaways (two fumbles, two interceptions). It's a message coach Lovie Smith has preached since arriving on campus. USF senior dual-threat QB Quinton Flowers has thrown four TD passes with one interception. Shannon Ryan's pick: The Bulls have had a rough week, but they have enough talent to outlast the Illini. South Florida 32, Illinois 17.

Hope it doesn't happen , but thinking an early season stumble against UCONN or ECU might happen. USF will be their bowl game and they will play out of their minds to win. Boise will be G5 rep at the Peach Bowl.

Fantasy football alert, I've seen him going in mock drafts in late rounds. Especially helpful in PPR formats, sounds like he's going to be their 3rd down back in passing situations.

Forget preseason polling, just use the same formula every year to sell magazines and clicks: 1. Always rank these teams regardless of prior record, prostitution for coaches/players, underage drinking, stealing, sexual battery/assault, academic cheating/fraud, recruiting violations, paying players, etc: Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Miami, Georgia, Tennessee, LSU, Virginia Tech, Clemson, Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Ohio State, Michigan, Wisconsin, Penn State, Southern Cal, Notre Dame and Oregon. These are the 21 programs you select from EVERY YEAR, it is up to YOU to rank them. 2. For 22 - 24 you select from these teams: West Virginia, Pitt, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Miss St. , South Carolina, Nebraska, Iowa, Baylor, TCU, UNC, Utah, UCLA, Washington, Oregon St. , Washington St., Minnesota, Iowa, Purdue, Missouri, Louisville and GA Tech. YOU determine who's in and who's out. 3. For your 25th team you are required to select Boise St in 3 of the 5 years you vote. It is up to YOU to pick the YEAR. 4. For the two remaining spots in a 5 year period for the 25th team you select a G5 team. But for one of those two years you are required to select BYU or NAVY. 5. For the last spot in a 5 year period for the 25th team you select a G5 team. But the team must have > 20 starters returning, average > 35 points the prior year, have a dark horse Heisman candidate, a great coach ready to jump to a P5 program in two years, have a crappy OOC schedule, and suck at Defense. Choice in 2017: USF

No WR DeVontres Dukes in the 2 deep?

We all wish this would happen but until we can 'move the needle' for B12 or anybody (win big games, win championships, fill stadiums with fans) its not gonna happen. USF decided way to late in the game to get football and couldn't capitalize on the short time in the BE with limited success.

I get that but a couple points. I assume with QF as a dark horse Heisman candidate he's going to play the majority of the snaps to get his stats up and get more attention. Second, even without seeing the 2017 team play yet, most reports indicate WR is very deep. Also, the coaches have said there is not much drop off in production for QB2/3. Of course that's not live action but this might be the most depth we have ever had on Offense and enough to crush most teams on the schedule in 2017. Improved Defense might also be a reason to take the pedal off the gas but unless we are winning by 21 with 5 min. left don't get cute and let up.

WVU can't read the writing on the wall, but they sure as hell aren't a fit in any other conference. 1. Pour gas on couch 2. Light couch on fire 3. Drink moonshine in plastic cup 4. Kiss your relative 5. Repeat until you pass out

Exactly, the Old Ball Coach, Jimmie Johnson, Dennis Erickson, etc. had no problem blowing people out to garner higher rankings to their schools. Didn't hurt any of them professionally, in fact it helped their careers as being offensive (no pun intended) mind. Dear Coach Strong, if you want to get a better job, get a raise, salvage your reputation, go out a winner, etc. blow out any team that can't stop your offense.

Have read him being compared to Denard Robinson of Michigan coming out of college. Another incredible dual threat QB in college. Denard was drafted in 5th round of 2013 by JAX. He's listed as 6'0", 197lb and running a blistering 4.32. Denard is currently looking for a job. Not sure the Jags new how to use him. I could see QF as a very effective punt/kick returner and slot receiver in the pros. I could also see the Patriots drafting him.
