USF Football in 2017 will be Illinois State Hoops All Over

I think we would have to go undefeated 3 seasons straight to get into the Playoffs.

We definitely have the strength of  Schedule to do it in 2018, 2019, and 2020. So if we finish the season undefeated and finish the year close to the top ten if not in the top 10, then we will have to rely on Brett Kean to take us to the promise land....hence my prophecy of Kean being our savior still coming true lol....well as long as Oladukan doesn't win the job next spring. 2017 my standards are low, I just want an AAC championship and a New Years day bowl victory.

That feeling the best season in school history is setting the bar low

Just my opinion here but; if we aren't packing in over 50K+ fans in our own stadium for our games, what makes you think the selection board would pick us over a P5 school that is? Face it, unless we can get our fans butts in seats and our TV numbers up, we're not going to the CFP's without a P5 Club Card.

Changing Stony Brook now ain't gonna happen. 

The only chance at playoff consideration, with this schedule, is to do what UCONN girls basketball does. Go out and win every game 48-0, 60, 3 or something like that. Even then that might not even get  us into the top 6 spots, let alone top 4.

Think about what Houston needed to do, both Oklahoma AND Louisville on the OOC schedule, to even be considered for the playoff.

I just hope we keep the starters in for almost all of the games and run up the scores  unmercifully.

I think in order for the G5 to make the best possible run at the playoffs, top G5 programs should leave an an open date with an understanding that the top 2 (highest ranked) teams will face each other opening day the next year. 

Example:

USF vs. Western Michgan. 2017 - opening day. 

Then #3 G5 play against #4 G5,

Then #5 G5 vs #6 G5, and so on. 

It's like mini G5 tournament.... 

USF WBB play in mini tournaments throughout the regular season, I want our football program to do the same. 

 

I think if we play WMU instead of Stony Brook, we could be playoff bound for sure.
