Season is officially over, where does USF rank?

[HaulingBull Sucks]

How did 1 coach not vote for us? Of the schools we played how many of those coaches vote?, you would think we would get more respect from our peers.  I was not expecting top 25 and the AP Poll is probably fair, but no votes from coaches?

The USA TODAY Board of Coaches is made up of 63 head coaches at Division I-A institutions. All are members of the American Football Coaches Association. This season’s board: Chuck Amato, N.C. State; Frank Beamer, Virginia Tech; Mike Bellotti, Oregon; Jack Bicknell, Louisiana Tech; Larry Blakeney, Troy; Bobby Bowden, Florida State; Tommy Bowden, Clemson; Jeff Bower, Southern Miss; Gregg Brandon, Bowling Green; Art Briles, Houston; Mack Brown, Texas; Watson Brown, UAB; John Bunting, North Carolina; Bill Callahan, Nebraska; Lloyd Carr, Michigan; Larry Coker, Miami (Fla.); Sylvester Croom, Mississippi State; Darrell Dickey, North Texas; Bill Doba, Washington State; Randy Edsall, Connecticut; Dennis Franchione, Texas A&M; Phillip Fulmer, Tennessee; Joe Glenn, Wyoming; Walt Harris, Stanford; Dan Hawkins, Colorado; Pat Hill, Fresno State; Terry Hoeppner, Indiana; Brady Hoke, Ball State; Brian Kelly, Central Michigan; Steve Kragthorpe, Tulsa; Mike Leach, Texas Tech; Rocky Long, New Mexico; Sonny Lubick, Colorado State; Dan McCarney, Iowa State; Les Miles, LSU; Shane Montgomery, Miami (Ohio); Joe Novak, Northern Illinois; Houston Nutt, Arkansas; Tom O’Brien, Boston College; George O’Leary, Central Florida; Gary Patterson, TCU; Chris Petersen, Boise State; Bobby Petrino, Louisville; Mark Richt, Georgia; Mike Riley, Oregon State; Rich Rodriguez, West Virginia; Bobby Ross, Army; Greg Schiano, Rutgers; Howard Schnellenberger, Florida Atlantic; John L. Smith, Michigan State; Mark Snyder, Marshall; Frank Solich, Ohio; Steve Spurrier, South Carolina; Rick Stockstill, Middle Tennessee; Bob Stoops, Oklahoma; Jeff Tedford, California; Joe Tiller, Purdue; **** Tomey, San Jose State; Jim Tressel, Ohio State; Tommy Tuberville, Auburn; Charlie Weis, Notre Dame; Tyrone Willingham, Washington; Ron Zook, Illinois.

You mean to tell me Rich Rodriguez didnt vote for us and after we kicked his team's rear, I guss we'll just have to do it again next yr.

There are some coaches on that list that don't have jobs anymore, who votes in their place? or do they still get to vote?

With number 7,8,10 and 12 on our schedule next year I think we have an exciting year ahead.  I think 29th in the AP is a fair assessment for the year.  We should have some votes starting out next year and some good momentum to make a push into the top 25.   Finishing the season 29th ranked in the AP and the second highest ranked team in the State Florida in our 10th season is something to be proud of.  

GO BULLS...

examine that list a little further and notice how many of those coaches are no longer employed at the school they are listed as being head coach

[Radiohead]

i think that we get the shaft from coaches because they are terrified of USF becoming a national contender and stealing even more Fl recruits

i may be waay off base here...i am somewhat a conspiracy theorist

[Kyle]

The coaches poll has always been a joke.
