USF is now ranked 104 in US News top Universities that came out today. We jumped 20 spots from last year, looks like UCF is going in the opposite direction.

If I had to pick one this would obviously be the better thing to excel at but why can’t we just have both like so many other institutions?

We've been on a huge upward trajectory since I started working at USF 20 years ago. I think we can draw the correct conclusions.

Not sure we could win any football games in the Ivy League either.

Sometimes we need to put things in perspective.  Thanks for posting that.

The academic side is so impressive. Time for athletics to catch up.

Yeah, that Princeton football should be in the College Playoffs this season.

Hahahahaha if we can get to top 10 in academics then forget all sports besides fencing, crew and the like but I think we have a better chance of getting into the SEC or BIG10 than that.

I think we reach the top 50 in academics before football.

That will be a more impressive tale than the one of trailers to BCS. To shed the commuter directional school stigma and become a top tier academic institution would be one of the greatest tales ever told.

I could never get accepted to USF. In my day (1966 high school grad) a 3.5 was a really good GPA. I think the average GPA was 4.1 last fall. Good for the Bulls, glad we are moving up.

With inflation you'd be at a 4.5.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
