USF is undefeated this season against teams that are not ranked.

[Jim Johnson]

Now, teams USF played may not have been ranked before they played... but as of today, all four of USF's losses were to teams that are ranked in the October 3rd AP (and Coaches) polls:

Team AP/Coaches

NC State 23/22

Florida 20/18

BYU 10/10

SMU 24/24

 

Does this fact make anyone feel any better about these losses?

Stubborn facts often lead to serious scorn and rejection.

The whiners will chew that up like a honey butter chicken biscuit from Wendy’s.

Of course they will... doesn't make it false.  At least for a week.

We have 6 games left vs teams that will not be ranked.

Lets see how we do vs those teams.

I expect 3-3 or 4-2... but we will see.

I brought this up yesterday in the in-game thread.  I don’t think anyone took the bait.

And if we win 1 or even worse none, does that mean it’s okay to call it as we see it or will it mean we have to dig a little deeper into the magic bag of endless excuses?
