USF Ranked No. 24 in Coaches Poll

Courtesy: USF

          Release: 10/04/2009

TAMPA - Thanks to the latest round of college football polls, the scene has been set for arguably the biggest college football game in Tampa history on Oct. 15

USF is ranked No. 24 in the USA Today Coaches poll that was announced Sunday afternoon, while its' Oct. 15 opponent Cincinnati is ranked No. 10.

The Bulls and Bearcats will play in front of a national television audience in 11 days.  ESPN and the primetime Thursday night crew of Chris Fowler, Erin Andrews, Jesse Palmer and Craig James will broadcast the BIG EAST Conference showdown live from Raymond James Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m.

USF has been ranked in 20 of the last 39 polls, including being ranked for nine weeks in 2007 and being ranked for 10 weeks in 2008.

USF owns an all-time record of 11-7 when ranked, but perhaps more importantly, USF has won five consecutive games against ranked opponents.  The streak dates back to a 2006 win at West Virginia.  USF is 2-0 all-time when both teams enter the game ranked.

Cincy is getting hosed.

The Boise State stagnation (fall) begins.

SHOCKED that the Notre Dame bias doesn't have them in.

How does VA TECH move up after they struggled with DUKE??? BYU is ranked too high. They get killed by FSU yet they are ranked higher than USF. That win over OU is not looking too well know that the Sooners are 2-2.

OU... what a joke.

Boise State 'struggled' with UC Davis... it's more about Boise dropping than VT moving up.
