Interesting how some that voted for us last week dropped us from their ballot.  Including one from CT

Unfortunately it is a flawed system across the board.

Played three teams with a legit shot to beat that crappy team.

USF beats Western Michigan and Boise by a lot. Them being ranked is a ******* joke 

The system is set up to reward undefeated teams, even if they haven't played anyone.  Both Boise and Western Michigan would have lost to FSU, but since they haven't played them, and won all of their mid tier games, they are ranked.

If USF would have scheduled, oh, let's say Georgia Tech, or Duke instead of FSU and won, we'd be ranked in the top 20 right now.

On the other hand, if USF had taken care of business vs. FSU and won, we'd be in the top 10 now.

I know just frustrates me. Sadly juat have to keep winning and I hate saying that. This team is a top 20 team easily. 

Actually think the staff is using this as motivation. Every #baymade episode you here something along the lines of "eventually they'll respect this football team." 

When they do it'll be to late. Building the new U!! 

GO BULLS!!

How the F is a 3-3 team ranked? Also, tired of seeing Boise get top 15 for doing nothing. 


Because according to the SECers "they're losing to quality teams." Such a BS excuse. They're still losing, and one of their wins comes against Wofford.

As an FYI only- A common opponent we had with Western Michigan was Northern Illinois. Western beat them 35-20 at home, while USF beat them 48-17 on the road.

More people are mad that Western Michigan is ranked at 7-0 than a team that has this resume

Wins: Wofford, Georgia (they just lost to Vandy, just to show you how garbage they are), and Memphis.

Losses: FSU, Alabama Arkansas

Lets check LSU, cause this makes me even more mad than Ole Piss's resume

Wins: Mississippi St (2-4, lost to South Alabama), Southern Miss, FCS garbage, and 2-4 Missouri

Losses: Auburn and Wisconsin.

Unbelievable. I don't even mind not being ranked, but its the teams that they put ahead of us that make me angry.

Even Virginia Tech is ahead of USF, after we blow out Syracuse, and USF blew out Syracuse.

There are two voters who apparently voted Ole Miss who is 2-3 vs FBS teams at #14........ Who is paying them I wonder? Flawed doesn't even begin to explain that one. Ed Johnson and Josh Kendall.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
