They’ve beaten common opponents more convincingly and they’ve played well against tougher competition. I think we’re better but I think UCF has looked more impressive thus far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it's a fair comparison. If he let us loose I think we would have more impressive victories 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ucf has scored more points on offense in their 3 conference games (154-137) however we have given up fewer points (41-57) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't know that I'd be calling Memphis a good team just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCF slightly better offensive stats, USF much better defensive stats.... But I agree from just looking at the scores UCF looks more dominant.

I like GOOOOLD (and green) Posted October 15, 2017 Group: Member Topic Count: 3 Content Count: 480 Reputation: 34 Days Won: 0 Joined: 02/05/2015 Share Posted October 15, 2017 If we're talking from the perspective of what we've gleaned from the entirety of the season thus far there is little reason not to put them at the top. They are dominant in all facets of the game. They killed ECU in a different way tonight than ECU lost to USF earlier. Transitive property is a slippery slope though, acknowledged. At this point the only thing keeping USF ahead of UCF is preseason favor. I agree with the OP. I disagree with Brybull, I don't think USF's defense is more dominant...I think they are equitable. I don't think Roaming Bull has it entirely right because I think Strong is doing what he can out there. UCF had their third stringers out there in the second half tonight and was still dominating. That'ts the definition of holding back. When did QF come out tonight? It's going to be a great game on Black Friday. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. But both teams have soundly beaten inferior competition to this point. Maryland sucks. Memphis seems to be better than average, but not great. I don't think beating the **** out of a bunch of bad teams vs. beating the **** out of a bunch of bad teams and one team who will probably finish 7-5 tells you much.
