We’re talking about regular season. 6-6 vs 8-4 is a lot different 

So 2 win improvement? Hey if thats ur confidence level in the team then all power to you.

Honestly, that's about where i had us in year 2. Unless our defense completely turns it around, we are still gonna drop some games.

Would I want better than 8-4? Definitely, who doesn’t? But realistically speaking, our floor is 7-5 or 8-4 and ceiling is 11-1, but I just assume we’re going to come up short along some games. Id say we have a decent shot of participating in the aac championship if we get our **** together but I’m going to stick around 8-4, maybe I’ll change it during the off-season when we get more of an idea of what to expect next year.

BULLSHTR's 2024 Football Season Prediction

Week 1: Bethune Cookman - Loss (0-1, 0-0)

— Our guys get caught looking ahead to next week playing @ Tuscaloserville and the scrappy HBCU team from Daytona has an FAU-esque made up rivalry moment and stuns us at home.

 

Week 2: @ Alabama - Loss (0-2, 0-0)

— The team has a major confidence issue from their embarrassing season home opener. Alabama jumps out to an early lead, but then USF surprisingly hangs in there enough to where it doesn't get too ugly. Once again, Saban goes for style points with the clock winding down in the 4th quarter.

 

Week 3: @ Southern Miss - Loss (0-3, 0-0)

— It's Week 3 and the team is beat up. On top of that, we have Miami at home next week and once again, we are only thinking about getting back home and taking it to the Hurricanes. Southern Piss takes advantage and wins in a shootout in double OT.

 

Week 4: Miami - Loss (0-4, 0-0)

— More players on the injured list. Also, Miami is playing great and they win making it look easy.

 

Week 5: @ Charlotte - Win (1-4, 1-0)

— The season has gotten off to a terrible start, but now conference play starts. Golesh gets the team's head on straight and comes out with their first win of the season on the road at Charlotte. 1 and 'O in the AAC!

 

Week 6: @ FAU - Loss (1-5, 1-1)

— USF comes ready to play this time, but FAU is still out for blood. Both teams are playing lights out, but there are penalty flags every few plays. At times, the players seemed to stop caring about the rules. FAU pulls out a close one with their slight home-field advantage and every USF fan is worried that FAU is "passing" us.

 

Week 7: @ Rice - Win (2-5, 2-1)

— Another week on the road, but this time it's cream-puffed Rice. We win this one easily, but it's still not clear if our team is good.

 

Week 8: @ Tulane - Loss (2-6, 2-2)

— With their HC and QB gone, this is not the Tulane team of yore. They still are fundamentally good and win this high-scoring, back-and-forth game.

 

Week 9: UAB - Win (3-6, 3-2)

— Nobody knows what UAB was on, the last time we met. This time though, the Bulls stampede the team from Birmingham and show signs of greatness. This is the team we thought we were!

 

Week 10: Memphis - Win (4-6, 4-2)

— Despite the 0-4 start, the team is already in a 3-way tie for 1st place in the AAC. A win here would put them ahead of Memphis. The team is at home and puts on a clinic.

 

Week 11: Navy - Win (5-6, 5-2)

— The Bulls carry the momentum right through the next two games.

 

Week 12: Tulsa - Win (6-6, 6-2)

— Easy win and the team is on a hot 4-game win streak going into a championship rematch against Tulane.

 

Week 13: AAC Championship vs. Tulane - Win (7-6, 7-2)

— This game looks a lot like the first game, but this time USF comes out on top and wins our first conference championship.

 

Week 14: Non-NY6 Bowl - Win (8-6, 7-2)

— We play the 5-7 Gators in the Gasparilla Bowl and hand them an L. This time our kicker makes a couple clutch field goals.

If we win the AAC, we are in the college football playoffs, not the Gasparilla Bowl next season. I’d be shocked out of my mind if we came out 1-5 to start the season. We didn’t even start 1-5 this season and it was a whole new everything. We perfect the offense and the defense is light years improved during the offseason. Absolutely no way we lose to Bethune Cookman in game one lol. We could play Coach Golesh wearing a blindfold at QB and still win that game. This isn’t your Jeff Scott kind of USF Football. It’s almost like you didn’t watch us play all season or this is just a troll post.

All I care is that we find a way to beat UTEP or whatever the name of that west Texas cc is in the ccg. Memphis and Tulane will be down. Tulsa will still be in flyover country and there will be too many **** owls on our schedule. Miami doesn’t look invincible and if we can improve upon the blueprint we may get by Bama. Let’s hope the defense showed its true self yesterday and we can play like that consistently next season. This is way too early, but start looking up sage grouse recipes now

I think 9-3 in season with Losses to Bama, The U or Southern Miss, and we drop a conference game we should win. WE win the conference title and hope to get invited to the 12 team  playoff or ny6 game.

17-0

[Grateful Dad]

Guys, why are we thinking that we will lose to B-C and/or SMiss?  I understand the vagaries of playing a season, but I'm scratching my head on those two called losses.

[Peatearpan]

8-4

 

L at Memphis, Bama, Miami, FAU
