I think they deserve their number 5 ranking no matter how good I think they are. A road win at Auburn whom Florida couldn't beat at home and a win over WV speak for themselves. They are where they deserve to be.

Having been at the USF - WV game, White still looked confused. Not to mention that their back up is the one who put up the TD. DDTide hit it right on the head in another post. USF hit em in the mouth and they couldnt handle it. Actually....they played THROUGH each whistle in that game (or that's how it seemed to me). Some penalties for late hits coulda been called but were not. USF hit them hard every chance they got.

Yeah...USF prob couldnt beat UF at this time. Rutgers will be an even bigger test than WV was for us. Its a short week on the road and they want revenge.

Ohio State deserves to be #1. Of course, they'll be #2 after the bowl game.

USF has shut down the vaunted WVU offense two years in a row. It is not luck, coincidence or injuries....it's called speed.

USF may not be the second best team in the country, there is a long way to go in the season, but they have taken care of business and deserve to be ranked where they are right now.

No.

BC shoud be #2, easily.

ddthetide · #7 10-16-2007, 09:20 PM

bc would get crushed by lsu, okla., usc and usf could handle them too.

Totally agree.

I would give you LSU, probably Oklahoma. The rest, no way.

Sorry, but I think the Big East is a joke.

The SEC is the best college football conference by far, and any of the upper tier teams would beat the best from the Big East on almost any occasion.

Better be careful, those are fighting words around here it seems.

P.S

I agree.

i agree with this for the most part but, rutgers is built like a big 10 team (slow) and usf is more like a sec team. both play good defense and run the ball. wvu is fast and soft with a 2 man gimmick offense. louisville is all offense but doesn't run the ball real well and couldn't make a stop if they had to.
the acc is ok but average from top to bottom and teams look good or bad from week to week.
usf is easily a top 5 team right now. not everybody walks into aubarn and wins and they just plain whipped the barners.

USF has some great athletes, especially on defense. I dont know anything about their depth though. I think the starting unit can play with any team in the country. I dont think the same of BC.

When they play a real top 10 team, we will see.

Untill then, all I can believe is they don't belong anywhere near the top 10. I would give them 11 in a heartbeat.

In all fairness, USF beat West Virginia (they were ranked 5th at the time of their defeat) and not to mention, Auburn (an SEC team, but I'm sure you knew that.)

West Virginia got shown to be not the team everyone thought they were. I am glad USF beat them...( and I love RR)

Auburn got beat by not taking a good team seriously, and Auburn is hit or miss..they play a great game or a bad game.

I just don't buy USF and Rutgers as the college football powerhouses this year people are making them out to be. Time will tell...but I don't buy it.
Beating the likes of UCF doesn't make you a contender.

Are you talking about Ohio State or Boston College?
