I wouldn’t put too much stock in these rankings. We  are a very good team when we need to be. I just don’t understand why CCS keeps his foot off the throttle so much. The hurry up offense scores about every time. Maybe he is trying to keep his defense from getting tired. 3 and outs don’t help the defense though.

While yes-- he does throttle down the offense (mostly by running the ball to burn clock with the lead toward the end of games), I'm not sure CCS is throttling down during games earlier (quarters 1-3) just because we have a lead. He is getting younger guys in there-- and that leads to mistakes and/or less impactful play at times. He also has little control over errors from anyone on the team and we have been making them at the most inopportune times.

Seems to me like the main problem our team has as a whole is lack of experience and the ability to gel consistently. Practice helps that but game action is supposed to be what really puts thing in line. We are far away from getting there and it is certainly frustrating.

With a record like that, with no wins verse anyone that matters, it's now obvious that USF football is just the tallest midget.  USF Football has fallen so far since the sacking of CJL.

Spot on! Let’s just shut this whole **** show down and burn the buildings down on the way out...

The only computer ranking that matters has us at #16 ...

I can see it now, USF goes 14-0 and that ranking has us #1 at the end of the season.

Am I the only one on this board not obsessed with where we are ranked and by who? Beat everyone, especially UCF and forget about the rest.

Not by a long shot ...... but when you're 5-0, certain fans' emotions need to be channeled somewhere ... like rankings, style points, coverage, etc.
