and now come my feelings of confliction.  obivously higher rankings are great for publicity but i hate to be set up for a fall.

If we are going to be a top program, Big east champions and BCS bowl participants then we MUST be able to be top 25 yearly and handle it.

Go Bulls!!!!!

starting the season out ranked is far better then unranked in any situation.

but i think it is much better for our team.  part of our problem last year was all the attention happened so fast.  we went from being never ranked to #2 in like 3 weeks.  atleast by starting out in the top 25 it gives our team plenty of time to get prepared to carry the target on their back.

[namuh-bull]

Of course there is the chance that we aren't ranked at all.

Go Bulls!

the problem was usf was preparred for fakes used by rutgers

usf couldnt stop ray rice

usf couldnt stop tice and passing game third down when we need to

BEING RANKED DOESNT EFFECT PERFORMANCE ON FIELD UNLESS YOU ARE A POORLY COACHED TEAM

WHAT IS EXCUSE FOR GETTING CREAMED BY UNDERDOG OREGON??  (just curious)
