South Florida should have seen this coming. The unbeaten Bulls (4-0) are the new kids on an already crowded block, incredible for a program that is only 11 years old. South Florida crossed into uncharted territory this week when it moved up to No.6 the AP poll following a 21-13 victory over West Virginia last Friday night.

It hasn't taken long for opposing coaches - such as Bobby Bowden of Florida State, who said he would be amazed if the Bulls maintained their poll position - to offer some raised eyebrows, and in the case of Alabama coach Nick Saban, fire a shot at USF's admissions policy.

"There are a significant amount of players who don't qualify and they end up being pretty good players at some other schools," Saban said in an interview with the Birmingham News. "I think there are six guys starting on the South Florida defense who probably would have gone to Florida or Florida State, but Florida and FSU couldn't take them."

Cheap shot?

It certainly came off that way to USF coach Jim Leavitt, a rising star who did not care for someone dumping mud on his team's historic accomplishment.

"(Saban) and I have always had a good relationship, but to sit there and tell the world something that he doesn't know about is not right," Leavitt said at his weekly press conference in Tampa. "Six defensive starters? Why's he making a statement like that? Florida, Florida State didn't recruit those guys anyway.

"Why that bothers me is it takes a hit at the credibility of our program that we can't do it with just hard work. There always has to be some reason. That is the heart and soul of our program. So he's attacking the heart and soul."

Well Sir we don't usually look at recruits your age but, I've heard of your legendary speed. I see in this photo how you beat the entire Alabama team in sprints one day.
