We would have a two week window (9/2 and 9/9). If I were Harland, I would be burning up the phone lines trying to make this happen. We have a top 10 offense, a Heisman Trophy dark-horse, we are coming off of an 11 win season, and we will begin the 2017 season ranked in the Top 25. If this program is going to fully turn the corner, it is going to be in 2017. Look at the love Houston received early in the year with their win over Oklahoma. If USF were to do that, we would at least stand an outside shot at sneaking into the Top 8 with an undefeated season, and who knows what could happen from there. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's call up our old conference friend Fuentes and make that happen. Buy out our game and theirs and travel up to Blacksburg and beat a Top 15 Virginia Tech team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just had an NC here you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, none of them in their right mind would even consider it with us agreeing to go to them for a road game, but if USF is remotely serious about crashing the CFP I believe the opportunity has to be explored.

As realistic as you think you are being, no P5 is going to cancel a cupcake to play a G5 team that may actually beat them. Houston, wasn't this Houston when they scheduled these past two seasons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston, wasn't this Houston when they scheduled these past two seasons. You don't know unless you ask. Maybe you give them another future home game against us as well to sweeten the pot with no return game. I'm just saying that I would hope that Harlan is at least exploring the possibility.
