247 Sports Writer projects USF as the AAC champion and highest G5.... as the #11 seed!

I remember how I felt the last time we played Oregon in a bowl game!  

Projected matchup: No. 11 USF (AAC champion) at No. 6 Oregon

This is really surprising. And I understand that people are excited and that is the goal. There is no question about that. However, we were 7-6 the last year. It seems a little far-fetched to go from that to winning the conference when we have never won a conference and going to the playoffs. I mean I really hope it’s right it just seems like a huge stretch.

I guess I been hyping people up about the playoffs next season….

This should be our goal and expectations every year. Let’s Go Bulls

Just looking at the positives, we can definitely do it.

Did you write the article or is your influence in the matrix more than we all thought?

We have said this for years but if the defense could get better the team could beat anyone.

We went from winning 1 game to winning 7 games the next year. If we can improve by 5-6 games, why is it so hard to win 3-4 more games than the year before?

Tulane went from 2-10 in 2021 to 12-2 the following year and won the championship. Why is it such a stretch for USF? Both SMU and Memphis finished the 2022 season 7-6 and then went on to finish 11-3 (and won AAC championship) and 10-3 respectively. Doesn't seem like a huge stretch to me!
