Also, USF lost all the votes it had in the AP poll last week. Too bad, I was hoping we'd keep one or two.

CFN didn't ding us too hard, dropping USF to #36 in its "CFN 119" ranking of all I-A schools. I think we were #35 last week.

CBS Sportsline has us playing Kansas State in the Independence Bowl, in place of an SEC team. (But this implies that Rutgers gets the last Big East-affiliated bowl slot ahead of us.)

Playing K-State in Shreveport would be great.  I think a holiday weekend Friday afternoon game in LA would draw a lot of Bulls fans.  Of course, this has about a 0.5% chance of happening.

[GarySJ]

Yeah, it is kinda early for that talk. It's just nice that the UM loss didn't push us out of the projected bowl field.

Shreveport is the armpit of Louisiana, screw their bowl game.

[GarySJ]

In other bowl-projection news, CFB now has us in the Insight Bowl, versus UCLA. That's actually a step up from last week's Poinsettia Bowl projection.

I honestly belive that we'll end up with one of the BE bowl slots.  After the BE 2 position, it is open pick, but who wouldn't take a team that has never been to a bowl game.  The novelty factor would boost attendance, and that is what makes the lower bowls go round...

Playing Kansas State= The Leavitt Bowl

[USFPDiddy]

Yeah, it is kinda early for that talk. It's just nice that the UM loss didn't push us out of the projected bowl field.

How would it have, logically, unless we were expected by those guys to WIN the game in the first place?  I don't think too many experts picked us.

[Ricky the Bull]

We've actually moved up to #31 from #35 in the composite rankings (average of 47 rankings).
