BCS Rankings: USF #27

[BULLfreak]

I wonder how many ahead of us will lose?

WVU should take care of Cinci

UGA should take down KU

Penn State vs MSU who really knows both teams are flaky

Wisconsin should beat Minn

[USF Colby]

Can someone explain to me why UF gets ranked so high?  ???

Lost on the road to #1 team in nation in final seconds, lost on neutral site to #9 team in nation, lost on last second field goal to #27 Auburn at home which is the only bad loss if you can even call it that because Auburn's resume isn't too bad either.

College football isn't about the records, it is who you play. Besides, if the Gators are on top of their game they can beat anybody. If Oregon and the Gators went head to head right now I would take the Gators in a heartbeat. On a neutral site i'd take the Gators over LSU because they almost won in Death Valley. Kansas wouldn't even come close. I think Oklahoma or Missouri would provide a good game, West Virginia wouldn't have a shot because the Gators have the speed needed to contain WVU's offense so they could be forced to pass on our young secondary and I don't think Pat White is good enough to win a game with his passing. Ohio State would have a good shot because of the revenge factor but we would have an immense speed advantage so I think we would win by a couple of scores. Virginia Tech got obliterated by LSU, and haven't really looked too good in many of their games so they would get crushed.

So really, even with 3 losses the Gators could beat just about any team in the nation. Because of me having this view, you would expect that I support a playoff. I don't though, the Gators blew their chances. They should have focused on Auburn and not looked ahead, they should have closed out LSU, and Georgia had no business blowing out the Gators. So they don't deserve to win the national title, but if we got to the title game I would like our chances.

What, you don't think if the Gators played their best game they could beat anybody? Teams that rely on speed like Oregon, and West Virginia would not match up well at all to the Gators. We already showed we can beat LSU, we nearly beat them in Death Valley. Kansas would get blown out by basically the entire top 15 I expect Missouri to destroy them.

I admit Missouri and Oklahoma would have good shots at beating us, but it took Missouri a while to put away a bad Texas A&M team and Oklahoma lost to 5-loss Colorado so while both teams have looked like world beaters they haven't proven it against top competition and have had questionable performances. Ohio State couldn't keep up with our speed last year, we're just as fast if not faster this year.

Point i'm making, Gators can beat anyone if their on their game, hence why their the highest ranked 3 loss team. Do any of you honestly think a single team ranked below the Gators could beat them?

Wisconsin plays Minnesota

Penn State plays Michigan State

UConn plays SU

Kentucky plays UGA

Cinci plays UWV

during the tailgate overtime show on Sun sports--- they played up hugely everything UCF. Whit Watson mentioned they were ranked 36th in the BCS-- failing to say anything about USF. They got the coverage with the Big Three where we used to get get covered. We fell into the Lap around the state portion.

In one fell swoop-- these clowns have forgotten UCF lost to USF by FIFTY TWO POINTS--- that we have been ranked higher than UCF every day this season. And that the only single reason these goofs are ranked at all is that their senile coach gave them the 25th ranking after beating a mediocre UAB team--- with a late score to make it look much bigger of a win than it truly was. Oh-- and they hyped the crap out of Kevin Smith--- that he can run on anyone (again-- failing to remember how he did against USF).

To add insult to injury-- they had a question about which conference would be more likely to be in the BCS NC game sooner-- the BE or ACC. Wright gave WVU and the BE props. Bianchi went on and on about how we are the Big LEAST.

There was one last stab at USF_-- comparing Miami's situation with our three game losing streak.

Look-- I know you goofs are located in Orlando and everything-- but there are other people watching this program and basically laughing at your biased approach to everything. Talk about band wagon media clowns.

[USF-PMR]

We have quality wins over WVA, Auburn, NC, Syr, and UCF.  We will ultimately finish much better than these schools yearly.

Bulls get some Guts - just watch this weekend.

44 - 23.
