Potential Undefeated Matchups

bullsmeanbusiness · September 12, 2018

Two games into the season, the momentum appears to be building for our Bulls. Looking at our remaining schedule, there is a possibility of three undefeated matchups remaining this season.

The first being the Houston Cougars. If they can get past Texas Tech, I don't see them entering the Oct. 27th matchup with any losses. After TT they have Texas Southern (W), bye, Tulsa (W), at ECU (W), at Navy (too much Ed Oliver, W). Potential meeting of two 7-0 teams meeting in Houston.

The second potential matchup, Cincinnati. Prior to our matchup at Nippert Stadium, the Bearcats have Alabama A&M (W), Ohio (should be W), at UConn (W), Tulane (W), bye, at Temple (was an L now doesn't appear as tough, W), at SMU (W), and Navy (always tough). Potential meeting of two 9-0 teams meeting in Cincinnati.

The final potential undefeated matchup, UCF. Of the three, UCF has the highest potential of coming into the game in Tampa with a Loss. Prior to our matchup they have: FAU (with a new bye thanks to Florence, W), Pitt (tough, but should be a W), SMU (W), at Memphis (shootout in AACCG, tough game to predict), at ECU (W), bye, Temple (W), Navy (tough), and Cinci (tough as well). UCF has the potential of coming into Tampa being 10-0 vs 11-0. But could also come into the game with 4 loses as well.

Of the three, the most likelihood of an undefeated matchup would be Houston, followed by Cinci, then UCF.

If USF were to face three undefeated teams, and win, there is no reason why we should not be top 15/20 by the AACCG. Especially if they are against a ranked Houston, and top 10/15 UCF team.
