Of course we want them to win.

Any OOC victory by an AAC team helps the conference as a whole, and increases our SOS.

 

Do MIA fans root for FSU? UF fans for FSU?

I'm sure this question will provoke a variety of opinions:

Do you want UCF to beat Maryland this week?

Maryland is 29th and 28th, in the Coaches and AP polls.

Maryland is 2-0, having won @Texas. 

UCF plays @Maryland on Saturday.

Maryland is a 3.5 point favorite.

I want Maryland to smoke UCF. Maryland will loss a few games this season...

I wasn't referring to the end of the season situation, I was talking in the interim...they would jump us if we both maintained undefeated seasons but they would have a stronger SOS and a win over a ranked P5 (UCLA). In the end, we would face them and if we beat them, none of that matters because we'll jump them. It may end up being #9/10 Memphis vs #11/12 USF in the conference championship game.

Sounds good to me.

I just completed this quiz.

I live in Riverview and I'm 50/50 on leaving after work tomorrow. Anyone else in the area sticking it out? Co-workers have made me 2nd guess myself and slight panic/overreaction is setting in on my part. Be safe everyone.

There were drops, sure, especially that glaring one by McCants late. 

Flowers overthrew a bunch of receivers too.  His passing was not as precise as we saw last week.

I think deep down we knew Heisman was no better than a long shot, and were curious how deep into the season he could go as a legit candidate.  2 games in and done is a bit surprising, considering we played San Jose State and Stony Brook so far.  

If I'm thinking of the same drop, that pass was too high, as were a lot of his passes today (too high, too low, behind the receiver). I thought Flowers was past this. Hoping for a big turnaround next week.

Hope all the teams we play win every other game makes us look better. Much better for us to beat 11-0 ucf rather than a 5-6 ucf. GO BULLS.

I get your point, but I always root for UCF to go 0-12 every year.

We still wouldn't jump those 2 loss teams even if we were undefeated with the above happening.

Here's a thread hijacking question...IF everything goes according to the dream and we end up ranked #5 with a bowl win on New Years Day, where do we get ranked going into next season? Do we even get a preseason Top 25 ranking losing QF,  many many seniors, and possibly Coach Strong? I'm interested to see what everyone thinks..remember,  we end the season at #5 but lose everything mentioned above.

After losing QF and other important seniors, I think we're an 8 win team at best next year. So no, I don't think we'd be ranked. QF is the heart and soul of the team, he's that important.

So I want to know what two conference teams we lose to?

Could be any of: Temple, Cincy, Houston, Tulsa, UCF. New coach's, lose two out of the three most explosive play makers on the team. It could easily happen. I have us going 11-1 though.

And...another recruit dropped from a 3 star to 2 star.  We had 21 3 stars and somehow that now dropped to 14.  Some highly rated 3 star guys suddenly, for no apparent reason, dropped significantly.  Some of them were some of our highest rated recruits and dropped to 2 stars.  I say again, what the heck is going on!?!?

Who is in charge of this site and is this being fixed.  A lot of these guys were just rated as 3 stars, then suddenly 4-5 days later, were re-rated as 2 stars.  This is getting ridiculous.   

G5 baby.

That's the thing with the draft. Of course he would've preferred being picked Rd 1-3, but it's more important who picks you. He has a real shot to succeed with the Colts. One of the best younger QB's in the NFL will be handing him the ball. The RB depth chart isn't too daunting either. Mack has a very good chance to make some real money down the road if he can make it to the next contract.

Even if we replace the game with a ranked #20-25 team, beat them and go undefeated, we'll still be left out. We'll never jump a 1 or 2 loss P5 team while in the AAC.

Maybe top 3 in average star rating.

I agree, I don't think we have anyone on the roster that's close to as good as DJ or Mack. Strong needs to sign this kid.

It looks like Taggart is going after him pretty hard too.

You guys are so salty. Who cares what these kids do. If he chooses us, then great. If not, I don't blame him for going to Oregon, it's a great school.

That is the first thing I thought of.  This kid has some growing up to do.

Will he still have some growing up to do if he chooses us?

I guess it's a possibility:

USF athletic director Mark Harlan headlines early candidate list for Greg Byrne’s replacement at Arizona

Mark Harlan has been in charge of the athletics department at the University of South Florida since March of 2014. He graduated with a bachelor’s in Political Science and a masters in Education from Arizona. Harlan also has some fundraising experience at Arizona.

In the early stages, Harlan would be the front runner to replace Byrne at Arizona. It’s an alum, and a guy that has proven himself in this particular job.

This class was always going to be small. I'm expecting we'll end up in the 60's, maybe the 50's if he can pull in that 5 star from Houston. Strong is going to fill in the rest of the class with some 4 star guys to improve our ranking.

Just for fun.  If he does end up committing and signing with us how for does he drop.  4 stars or 3 stars?

I think he would stay a 5 star.

Very nice.  Does he have the potential to crack playing time as a freshman?

It would be a waste of a redshirt if he does play as a freshman. Just like we wasted Flowers redshirt.
