not sure how we have benefited other than the occasional trip to charlotte. non BCS teams that have played in a bcs bowl include Hawaii, Utah, Boise State, TCU. 3 of them are thought of more highly than USF and yet they were in non AQ conferences.

auburn and alabama are in the same conference about 125 miles apart. both have won national championships in the last 5 years.

Alabama and Auburn have been playing for over 100 years, so that is a poor comparison.

We have benefitted from being in the Big East. More revenue coming in than what we would have been getting in C-USA.

Hawaii going to a BCS game was a joke with the schedule they played that season.

how is that a poor comparison? it's not like UCF has been playing for 100 years. Our relative age is similar just like AU and Alabama.

revenues do not = success. just ask Notre Dame pr Boise State or any number of programs.

it's a poor comparison because you're taking one of the best rivalries in college football, if not the best rivalry, and trying to equate USF-UCF on that level.

UCF also had a 20+ year head start over our program.

My revenue comment pertained solely to USF.

what does it matter how great their rivalry is?it had to start sometime.  usf v ucf , on a micro level, is very similar to AU v Alabama. 2 geographically close schools that are near mirror images of each other.

UCF did not have a 20+ year head start. they also started in D3.

they went d-1 like 4 or 5 years before us.

Either way, hanging 64 points on them at a sold out RJS on a sunny Saturday afternoon will always be a fond memory for me.  We should play them again someday.  Sellout crowds make for the best games.  And as far as true rivalries go, I don't care what you want call it, we truly hate those guys and the game (when it was played) was extremely important to the players, coaches and fans.

it's rather insulting that you don't think we can compete head to head with them.

You have over 2k posts on this site and you still think that's the argument against them? 

why else would people not want to play them or play in their conference?

please don't use the tired excuses.

They are tired excuses because UCF wont stfu and keeps making us use them. It's not because we are scared of them. FIU isnt scared, why the f would we be?

tell me why you don't want to play them or why you don't want them in our conference.

Unless them entering the BE is the make it or break it deal for the BE to keep its' AQ designation, it is not in USF's best interest, as an athletic program, to let them in. You've been supplied with the reasons on numerous occasions .... Now, other than one home game, every other year, that you can get all giddy about, why should we want them in the conference with us?

i thought I remember them not wanting to play us in our early days, am I remembering that correctly? Also, didn't we help them get into CUSA, by leaving. How can they say we're keeping them down?  :)

Their administration in our early years did everything possible to help us along ... Maybe we do owe them something.   :D

We paid them back by opening up a spot in CUSA for them.  ;D We don't owe them anything now.

Youre either a troll in disguise, or were born in 1994.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
