Agreed, after the 3 leave nothing would raise the profile of this conference more than SMU/Memphis/USF all being consistent 9+ win teams

USF's history has proven 9 wins is not enough.  We need to please the fans too.

I am not sold that a team has to play in an OCS to get the attention of Power 5 conferences. Hasn't hurt Pitt or Miami for example.

I get the outcry that this is what is holding us back supposedly-- but in reality-- USF has plenty of other issues to overcome imo.

anyway -- carry on

Colorado State is trash.

UAB will always be that team that shut their program down until they win something meaningful.

I would take App State over those two.

Coming off 3 10+ win seasons in 4 years with the odd one being a 9 win season they went 13-1 in 2019. In their rivalry game they had 18k people. Hosting the Sun Belt championship they had 18k people. They just have a long way to go in terms of building a fanbase.

They led the sunbelt in attendance for a few years recently and they win consistently.

Just wait until Westherford builds us that shiny new ocs in the next 2-20 years. Then we will see who has best facilities

UAB, UMass & FAU would be my choices, unless they’re looking west… then Boise, SDSU, Fresno

    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.
