South Florida (4-4) at  Cincinnati (5-4), 3:30 GamePlan

Why to watch: The hottest Conference USA team is Louisville, but Cincinnati is a close second winning three in a row with three straight dominant performances. After a rough start, the Bearcats can become bowl eligible in a must-win game with Louisville coming up next week. South Florida hasn't been playing poorly with a two-game winning streak getting the offense rolling on UAB and East Carolina. Also searching for a bowl bid, it's first, it needs to win two out of its last three with Memphis and Pittsburgh to close things out.

Why South Florida might win: The USF offense has gotten on a roll scoring 89 points in each of its last two games and hasn't been all that bad on the road. The defense has gotten better as the season has gone on at getting into the backfield with solid pass rushers like Craig Kobel and Javan Camon to get pressure on UC QB Gino Guidugli. If you can get to Guidugli, you can stall the Bearcat passing game.

Why Cincinnati might win: The defense has been playing extremely well lately with an attacking scheme great at getting into the backfield and forcing turnovers. It was able to hold the high-powered Memphis and TCU offenses to ten points each and only allowed 11 first downs to Southern Miss last week. The USF offense might be playing well, but scoring on UAB and East Carolina isn't that great a feat.

Who to watch: South Florida QB Pat Julmiste is coming into his own completing 19 of 31 passes for 419 yards and two touchdowns over the last two weeks while rushing for 86 yards and three scores. Unfortunately for the Bulls, he's not nearly as hot as Guidugli who threw for 308 yards and five touchdowns against Southern Miss two weeks ago in the best game of his career. He has 13 touchdown passes in his last four games.

What will happen: Cincinnati has been too strong to let up now. The offense has too much balance for the average USF defense.

CFN Prediction: Cincinnati 34 ... South Florida 23 ... Line: Cincinnati -11.5

Must See Rating: (5 lock yourself in a room to watch - 1 Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason) ... 2.5

They're saying to watch Julmiste, because they believe he'll fail.  This is one of the games they predicted us to lose at the beginning of the season.
