WOW!!  I would have bet that we would not have been ranked (unfairly of course)!  So glad I was wrong, more glad I didn't bet money on that, and even more glad to be a Bull!

For those of us paying attention ... here is a recap of USF's BRIEF History ...

Walk on team started 1996

First game Fall 1997 as a Div I-AA team

2000 Transition year from Div I-AA to Div I-A

2001 - 2002 Div I-A Independent

2003 - 2004 Conference USA

2005 - Present Big East

2005 - First Bowl Game

2006 - First Bowl Victory

September 16, 2007 - First AP/Coaches Poll Ranking

Now if my numbers/memory aren't failing me ...

# of years playing: 10 (technically our 11th season, but we didn't play a game that first year)

# of years as Div I-A: 7

# of ranked opponents beaten: 3 (Louisville, WV & Auburn)

In just 7 short years as a Div I-A team we have gone from Independent to Conference USA to a BCS (Big East) Conference.

In just 7 short years we have scheduled and beaten 3 ranked teams.

In just 7 short years we have made it to TWO bowl games, winning 1 of them.

In just 7 short years we have been ranked as a top 25 team in the country.

Today Bull Fans, Alumni & Students should be standing proud. This is a big day for us and we should enjoy the moment ... pause now ... enjoy it ...

...

Now let's get back to work ... we have a lot of games still to play. North Carolina, you're up next! :-)

No, this is actually our 11th year of playing, 12th year of program.

We've also beat Bowling Green and they were #25, so that makes it 4.
