If a 15-5 Virginia, 3rd in the ACC, isn’t getting Top 25 votes, a 12-5 South Florida of the lowly AAC isn’t even close.
Virginia has wins over Florida (Votes), then-ranked #14 Texas A&M.
Virginia has losses vs #13 Wisconsin, @ #19 Memphis, @ Notre Dame, @ NC State (Votes), & @ Wake Forest.
There are numerous teams out there in better conferences, with stronger strength of schedule, with similar records as USF who are not receiving votes or currently ranked in the Top 25.
If USF was 17-0 and went 18-0 after today, we’d have an argument if we weren't at least receiving votes.
We will never be ranked this season and I’ll repeat for those who aren’t listening or don’t understand how this works, USF will not make the tournament this season with our minimum of 5 losses unless we win the AAC tournament to receive the automatic qualifier. It’s just the way it works. Need to play better opponents and beat those better opponents to make it or run the table with 1 or maybe 2 losses.
