24 Hour Rule

Let me preface this by saying, there are a million scenarios out there in college football and these events are not mutually exclusive, but for sake of argument which of these two options looks better to a recruit?

1) USF goes 10-0. Reaches top 10 and loses to UCF on Black Friday. Doesn't get a CCG and plays in god knows what stupid bowl and finishes season 11-1.

2) USF goes 9-1 with loss to Houston. Stays unranked until beating UCF on Black Friday. Beats Memphis in CCG and goes to Peach bowl.

 

Sidebar on this - an unranked 9-1 team speaks volumes of how "just winning" means absolute crap in this sport.

With all due respect, it's a waste of time to even bring that up.  Best case scenario was we won and we are 8-0 today.  That didn't happen.  Now we are unranked and UCF is #15 and undefeated.

Let's bring this back up after 11/24.  

I can agree with that.

By "sarcasm" Jupe, I meant "are you kiddin me?"  Based upon our adventures in our first seven wins against weak teams and our ridiculous loss against Houston, I don't see it happening.  UCONN is a trap game and no way we stay within 17 points of UCF.  Memphis would most likely manhandle us also.  I can only go by what I see.  

unless our OC and HC give up the idea of QF as a pocket passer and all of the runs up the middle, UCF may be a massacre.

Exactly this.

Call me crazy, but I actually like our chances at winning the conference championship better after Saturday's game. 

Obviously we have taken away any margin for error in the next two games by losing and I would have preferred to win but I think this helps our chances against UCF which was always the biggest obstacle. Now we have that taste of blood in our mouth and the target off our backs. Pressure is all on UCF now. 

Okay, you're crazy.

 I'm not going to go crazy with this transitive property thing but, Navy got beat down by Temple. The one team that gave UCiF fits. 

I whole heartedly don't believe they've been tested this year. With us facing our evil doppelganger in Huston and luck being clearly on their side, we've been reminded of what it feels like to be knocked down and now we're hungrier than ever. 

UCiF is still riding high after giving up 30+ to Peay... Dont be surprised if they lose to SMU either. The only team they've played with a defense was NAVY and low and behold they didn't look like world beaters. We'll be more than fine. We're going to bounce the bounce house and ride their tears to the conference championship game.

I hope you are right! And I hope the fact that your post count number was 666 is not a bad omen. 😉
