Meaningless pre-season speculation is 1/2 the fun of CFB Typically I agree but when these "experts" don't do their homework and at least find what the conference afiliations are for the bowls (as in this case) they are a waste of time.

Only one of those two can happen. In order for USF to even have a possibility to make a NY6 game we have to beat FSU, thus having FSU out of the CFP picture... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get to the CFP with a loss (or two)... as long as you are P5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FSU game is irrelevant to some degree for USF to play NY6 game. As long as we win our conference with one or no loses that will probably put us ahead of Boise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you are ranked, you are ranked and the victory is over a ranked team. Now if we end up sucking after beating FSU then they may not make it. As for us, all we have to do is win and be the highest ranked no P5 team. If we are to make the playoffs, it’s impossible w/o beating FSU. If we beat them they can still make the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will if that non-p5 school wins every game and the conference (and gets that New Years Six invite) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
