i think if the gators beat tenn then we get ranked without even playing.  unless there are some other big upsets from teams who are also receiving votes.

either way i think we are gonna come out and wreck North Carolina

It would have been nice to be ranked after beating Auburn, but there is still a chance that we will be ranked before the UNC game, depending on what happens this weekend.

We may very well be ranked before the UNC game based on what could happen to some teams that are barely in the Top 25 and also because some of the writers/coaches who submitted their ballots before our game ended could push us up a bit.

The boys will play with a bigger chip on their shoulder than maybe what was already there. If I am Butch Davis, I am scared out of my witts, USF is gonna want to come out and smoke em and show the world they should be ranked.

You are correct, sir.

This is a good thing.  Also, the bye week is huge.  Let the guys bask in the victory for a week, then get ready for UNC next week.  I'd have been more worried about UNC if the game was Saturday.

I think that UNC will be easier than I thought during pre-season.

Now that we beat Auburn, the WVU will make or break our season.  End of story.

I think there will be a correction in both polls this weekend and USF cracks both AP and Coaches without lifting a finger.

BTW, the AP voter in Raleigh prints his ballot in the paper every Monday and he VOTED THE BULLS 15TH . . . WOW.

I think the scenario couldn't have worked out more perfectly.

We beat Auburn in primetime on ESPN. If we had been ranked immediately afterward, people would have moved on to the next news story. But our not being ranked has gotten us alot of press all over the country saying we get no respect in the polls. Also, this happening right before a bye week is perfect. That way, the win can stew in the consciousness of the country for a bit longer.

I expect we'll quantum leap close to Top 10 team if we beat UNC, an undefeated WVU team, and Auburn wins its next two games.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
