Last four teams ranked by difficulty

[Bulls On Parade]

Last four teams I think in order of difficulty.

UCF...on the road number 2 offense and they have a 30th ranked defense...this is the toughest game we have left as UCF is the more complete team and we have to go on the road.

Memphis/Cincy...these teams are pretty close...but sort of opposite.  Cincy with the stronger defense and Memphis with the stronger offense.  If we bring our A game we can win one  or even both of these games.  

Temple appears hit by injuries...UCF ran for over 300 yards on them. Temple has never I think won in Tampa..but it is a Thursday night game eh.  

 I do see a path to six wins which considering how we started this season would be a pretty solid season but Temple is a must win game.

I'd trade a bowl game for beating UCF.

Going to reverse this as it is more meaningful looking at who we have a better chance of beating first:

1. Temple. Still have never won in Tampa and their offense can give up turnovers. They seem to be trending downward.

2. Memphis. A great matchup for us. Leakey defense. Offense is explosive but defense is our best unit right now.

3. ucf: its a rival game. Anything can happen. I still think their defense is not all that great either.

4. Cincy: a complete team on both sides of the ball and playing for a NYD game. Can’t see this one happening.

I voted up but want to make sure I voted the right way.  You are saying you would trade USF going to a bowl game for a USF win of ucf, right?

5-7 with a win over UCF would make me happier than 6-6 with a loss to them and the chance to play Eastern Michigan in Boca.

I am good with that...but it does mean a three game losing streak (which may very well happen) going into that game. The mother of all wins is that beating ucf gives us bowl eligibility.

A three-game losing streak? Please... I don't even acknowledge a losing streak of less than six games, anymore.

Gotcha...that's what I thought but for some reason when reading I thought it could mean the other way.

T1 UCF, Cincy, Memphis

2 Temple

Memphis has shown that they’re beatable. Last week Temple shut them down and this week it took a last second missed field goal to escape 2 win Tulsa. If we have a path to post season I’d say Memphis and Temple are the most likely wins.
