On a personal level, I like hating articles like this. But the reality is, we've looked very mediocre in 5 wins against teams a top 25 team shouldn't be hanging with like we are. GA Tech is our best win, and if you're a computer guy, the best of ALL the computers have them at 40, but their composite is in the 60s. I'll get mad if we starting putting teams away like a ranked team should and still get no respect. For now, I'm mildly disappointed we're not a "Top 50" team.

College football lookahead is the essential grab bag of numbers, trends, reads and concepts each Monday throughout the season.

Join us below as we unmask a ranked unbeaten that's not even top-50 material, seek profits in Pac-12 offenses that are finding an identity and tell you which Sun Belt squad is in a very unusual spot this week -- and which one is surprisingly seasoned at its own role.

Sell: South Florida Bulls

The Bulls are 5-0, but it's hard to call them a good team. South Florida is certainly an undisciplined one, as Charlie Strong's first edition finished ahead of only Oregon in both penalties and penalty yardage last year, and once again ranks outside the top 100 midway through this season.

The defense is less than the sum of its talented parts, while the offense has little consistency and

I like looking at these for computer rankings. It gives you every single one and highlights your highest.

These rankings pretty much depict our opinion about this team.  We know we havent shown that we are a good team yet.  Our best win arguably is against elon.

What's kind of funny is that we have multiple threads sounding off about how bad we've looked winning yet when an AP voter "votes" reflecting the same sentiment, some go ape **** crazy ...... tis a reminder that fan is short for fanatic.
