OT: University of South Florida's season ends

by Inkara1 on Oct 18, 2007 11:32 PM CDT Comment 16 comments

The Bulls lost 30-27 to Rutgers. That spells the official end of their season. Now that they have one loss, they're pretty much right back where they were 12 years ago. No one cares about USF anymore. They might as well forfeit the rest of their games and go home. They are now a non-factor.

Of course, if the Bulls were in the Big 12 or SEC, and had one loss, but to a team worse than Rutgers, and fewer quality wins, then they'd still be right in the thick of the national title race.

Was more specifically talking about Oklahoma

but over the years, the same stuff has applied to the SEC. As for LSU, they've got quality wins and Kentucky is a better team to lose to than Rutgers.

Small schools

or not big-time programs get screwed in college football.

USF would never have gotten to play for the national championship. LSU would have miraculously passed them in the bcs the last week. This just spares you the agony of being cheated later

USF

is not that good.

Usuaully I would be right there with you

But the way the computers had USF ranked I don't think that would have happened this year. Luckly for them that win at Auburn keeps looking better and better. Not to say that it wouldn't happen or that I would be totally surprise if it did, but for some reason I think this year has been screwy enough that they might have gotten to play for the NC.

LSU

USF couldnt hold LSU jock. LSU has the hardest shcedule in CF this year and are still the best team despoite losing in 3OT to Kentucky.

The computer rankings had LSU #2 last week and USF #1, because they had beaten AUburn and WV. I think LSU and OU will be in the title game if they both run the table. They are the best teams in CF, IMO.

Even with this loss, USF does have a decent team and is a good story.

Maybe Michigan

But OSU will not lose to Wisconsin, they are terrible. And while I agree we have played a bunch of cream-puffs in our non-conference games (but OSU normally plays a couple of decent ones, Texas 2005-2006, 2008-2009 USC) we cannot be faulted for the Big Ten being a huge pile this year. I don't think OSU is the greatest team this year or is by far #1, but we haven't lost and its not like Oklahoma or LSU played some ridiculous non-conference teams either.

OS

Ohio State #1 is a joke and is only based on their record. They have played NOBODY. I will let them try to prove me wrong over the last 4 games of the year. If they played LSU schedule they would lose atleast 2-3 games.

South Florida

Like it or not, and people are smarter than computers this way, they just dont have the track record. It sort of seems like they were a joke to even be that high. But I dont have a problem with it per se, they had earned that spot. And obviously now lost it. Boston College is in somewhat the same position, but they do have a better recognition/big school factor than USF.

Teams like OU, or LSU, just have a track record the last few years, they play in the toughest conferences, and they have all the athletes. We KNOW they're better than USF. We just do.

A computer would rank South Florida very high, and of course it would suck. We'd all have a sick taste in our mouths as #1 undefeated Ohio State played #2 1 loss South Florida for the national title while #3 1 loss OU looked on, because a computer decided their schedule wasn't tough enough. That's why we basically took computers out of the BCS. Cus they dont know shit and always give you the matchup of clearly inferior teams. Which led to some really glaring oversights all those years in the BCS title games.

If South Florida stays near the top for the next couple years, things will be different, and people will give them more respect.
