Easy.  All you ever need to root for is for USF to beat UCF; none of the other schedule minutae matters.

Having said that, I personally I want them to go winless.  While I know a good rivalry with strong teams gets good ticket sales, tv ratings, rankings etc, it doesn't do me any good.  I have to deal with hearing their alums frequently enough.  If you want a rivalry, find a school that doesn't encourage their fans to delude themselves into believing they are national champs.

Final answer: Better for me if FAU upsets, better for USF football if UCF takes care of biz and USF beats them in turn

Here's the thing FAU is already getting way too much love because of Kiffin.  As much as I'd like them to beat UCF, overall, I think it's better for us if UCF wins.

Go FAU! I agree, that IF both us and UCF are undefeated on black Friday it would be an amazing opportunity for us... HOWEVER, having been a USF fan since around 1999, I don't have any evidence th

I don't think a game with an 11-0 ucf draws many more fans than one with 0-11 ucf

Then you’ve never been to a USF-UCF game.

rooting for, and better for us, are not the same. It looks better for ALL of our games to be against opponents with good records. Hate on C all you want, but beating a ranked team is better than beating an unranked one. Alabama or otherwise.

Jesus... 14 pages of this... curious how many schools across the country root for their rival to go undefeated up to rivalry weekend.

Is this a real comment? Look at the attendance last year and 2015.

We’re not rivals. It says so on every page of this thread.

Ok, now look in 2007

And I guess I should have been clearer as I was referring to our home games not theirs

Our attendance always sucks. It's because of the frats.

I'd rather lose to USF or any other AAC team than FAU.

 

that would be a gut punch and especially with Lane Kiffin as their coach. It also would be a major fail by Heup after a sloppy 2nd game.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
