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.

Tell that to Ohio State.

With that said, if USF isn't that great, how did Auburn get beat by 'not taking a good team seriously?' There's not a doubt in my mind that USF is a good team this season... do I think they'll win out their season? Nope, but they deserve to be at the top right now since they've done nothing wrong yet.

Who was talking about Ohio St?

The thing I actually like is the parity in college football...any good team can beat another on any weekend. It makes it more interesting, and discussions like this go on forever...

That's all I was saying. Thank you for agreeing J.

Are you talking about Ohio State or Boston College?

Why? Neither one of those teams have played a, as you said, "real top ten team". So what is the difference between them and USF?

Yawn...

You are right, Elon, at Auburn, UNC, FAU, WV, UCF, Rutgers, UConn, Cinci, Syracuse, L'ville, and Pitt are as scary as....

Wake, NC St, UMass, Army, Bowling Green, at GT, at ND, at VT, Fl St, at Maryland, at Clemson, and Miami...

and...

Youngstown St, Akron, at Washington, Northwestern, Minnesota, at Purdue, Mich St, at Penn St, Wisconsin, Illinois, and at Mich...

Sorry, but if I wanted wins, and not of the quality kind, would take the USF schedule any day (espically down the stretch!)...

These Johnny Rebs don't follow classic lines of logic.


Don't forget...they are the man in the gray suit.

So you are saying that playing ND, Wisconsin, Penn state, Miami, Ga Tech is tougher than playing Cincy, Louisville, or Rutgers ? Have you seen any of the above teams play lately? Auburn and WV are better than any teams in the Big 10 or ACC with the exception of Ohio State. Illinois QB is hurt, Purdue cant stop anyone, VT is one dimensional, FSU is average at best, Michigan is spotty...
The case can be made that the schedules are pretty close to even but there is no way that anyone can say that OSU or BC's schedule is tougher than SF's. Maybe in a traditional sense but the fact is that the 'midmajor' type teams like Cincy and Rutgers are a lot better than their history suggests. The smaller teams have caught up and with spread offenses and scholarship reductions and the fact that almost every major conference game is televised means that kids can go to a mid major type and play and get exposure as opposed to the old days where they would rot on a big teams bench.

You win. My opinion has changed. Your logic has won me over.
