Conference realignment "Rumors" "tweets" "etc"

Not a bad prediction. I predict only about two ACC schools reach a settlement and leave to make room for USF ( who in my opinion will be a steal for the ACC when all is said & done)

I think that was what woke me up this morning.

It’s funny what a 7-6 season and a rout of Syracuse will do. We were “USF Who?” or “USF brings no value” this time a year ago. When we were losing, these internet geniuses had a very short memory about how good we were just a few years before. Now we’re the sleeping giant arising again after a .500 regular season against some pretty awful teams. We’re making progress, our university is a good one academically, and our market ultimately makes us a viable candidate for anyone. Nothing has changed except a couple more wins, but in the minds of all these internet “experts” we’re somehow worthy again. It’s a laugh, and a very predictable one.

the sec is not taking usf over fsu or miami

i was the first one here that thought orlando and usf would be a great addition to big 12 or big 10 to give those conferences a major florida presence but they went in a different direction.the Usf brand went in the toilet

All signs point to USF going to one of the big money conferences or staying in the AAC. I asked this internet expert...

While valid, let me offer something to add to this. 

6-6 USF in the AAC, a nice step for us, but not turning any heads. 

Then a 1 - 2 punch. 

USF as underdogs, route Syracuse in the Boca Bowl, and people say, "USF is better than I thought."

Then, USF signs the top G5 recruiting class, and people say, "And getting better"

That double hit of postive USF news opened some eyes.
