POLLS: Coaches & AP - USF is #21 in both

[Cubanbull]

In the voters eyes we have not done much

wins over TWO 1AAs, WKU is 0-5, Cuse is 2-4 and FSU has stunk it up since our game and is 2-4.

The next three games will prove wether we belong in top 10 or higher, break the Thursday night jinx and end october undefeated beating Cincy,Pitt and WV would be the kind of streak the Bulls need to win to get real respect.

Same could be said for other teams ranked higher and even some with loss.  I mean who has Kansas beat?  Who has PSU beat including a loss? TCU? In the end all we need to do is win which is key, but having to work out of a preseason ranking hole is unfair.

Who has Oklahoma beat ?

2 losses to currently ranked teams isn't Top 20 !

[IncrediBULL]

its tough for us.  the BE gets no respect.  our wins were against mediocre teams.  we have not proved anything yet.  if we beat cinci then run the BE table we will be in better shape.

4 of our last 7 opponents will be ranked, including the next three. It'll be okay.

Kirk Bohls used to be one of our biggest fans.  He used to be the upper outlier.  Now he is the lower outlier keeping us unranked.
