"The New Kid on the Block"  South Florida

All-time winning percentage: .623

Years in I-A existence: 6

Archrivals: Traditional powers that recruit Florida (i.e. everyone)

Compelling Reason to Root: Boise State became the ultimate "New Kid on the Block" last year by winning the Fiesta Bowl in its 11th year on the big stage, but the Broncos officially are a mid-major power now. While crashing the college football elite is the longest of long shots for a new program, USF looks like the next sleeper school with a chance to at least dent the armor.

Head Coach Jim Leavitt has been at USF from the beginning, repeatedly turning down offers to move up the ladder. If he believes in the Bulls, why shouldn't we? Sophomore QB Matt Grothe is back after leading the team in rushing and passing in 2006. One of Phil Steele's 254 power rankings has USF going undefeated in 2007. With Auburn, North Carolina, West Virginia and Louisville on the schedule (the last three are at home), I have them achieving slightly less. But the Bulls could be a factor in the Big East for the foreseeable future.
