USF #18 in AP Poll!

[MikeG]

I'd like to know what meatheads actually feel UCF deserves a top twenty five ranking. That is BS imo. A moral victory over Texas and a beat down of Memphis added to barely hanging on against NCState isn't exactly the definition of wowing me. Sure-- one could compare our season to theirs so far BUT we have beaten RANKED teams for the past three years. I'mnot saying UCF couldn't conceivable be that good-- but they have hardly earned it imo

perhaps they are getting some wierd initial bump where voters are confusing UCF with USF.

either that or there is a dart board involved

I don't know how you vote for Cincinnati and not us.

[WWMJD]

That is his homebase so I can at least understand the Cincy vote... but Purdue? Nebraska? ASU? Hawaii?  He really believes those teams are better than us?

Actually,the e-mail was returned becuase the list had a bad e-mail address. So I'm resending it as follows. I hope it meets the approval of my critics:

Mike,

I noticed in your AP TOP 25 voting the last couple of weeks, that you may not be real familiar with the USF Bulls.  Seeing that you're in Boise State Bronco Territory, we have many similarities to your local Bronco football program.  We have only had a program for 11 seasons and our coach has quickly built a powerful program .  Much like your local Broncos of last year, we hope to be given every opportunity to play in a major bowl game this year.  However, we really want to get the word out about our program, especially to our friends west the Mississippi.  As I'm sure you must know, we have a big game against West Virginia on Friday.  We also have a difficult schedule against many great teams in the emerging Big East this year.  If we are successful against the Mountaineers and others, we hope that we can make a BULLIEVER out of you, as well!

Go Bulls!

Be glad you guys have a decent coach.  :throwup2

Congratulations to Cincinnati. It's the first time they've been ranked in football since 1976.

[Jihme]

can we now add "top 20 ranking" to our milestones list?
