I'm getting a little terrified that we're being picked to win by so many. Oddly, it makes a loss seem more likely to me. I don't like us being favored still. Can't wait to see if Taggart can handle expectations better than Leavitt. 

Not how sports work. The games are won on the field, not in the papers. Don't worry if the entire world picks us to win by 4 touchdowns. If we're good enough, we'll win anyway. Teams who are picked to lose don't have an advantage as an underdog. USF isn't going to go any bit easier against one of the in-state powerhouses simply because a bunch of nerdy sportswriters said we have a chance to win. And we won't suddenly be better than we actually are if no one is giving us a chance in hell. I understand the mentality you're looking at this with, but in the end,  it's not how it works so rest easy lol

Remember, Michael Phelps was the favorite to win almost every race he ever participated in,  did it ruin his career?

Conference play will give us a better answer on this, that was always the Jim's Achilles.

Next Friday matters far more than tomorrow.

Before it came out, I thought that movie was going to be horrible on an epic scale. I was so, so, so very wrong.

If you look at their "straight up" picks, they are all picking FSU to win. These picks are ATS, so, they think we'll keep it within 1-score, but, none are picking us to win.

My mistake, next Saturday.
