Are we the only Top 5 team ever some people think is an underdog to an unranked?

Just two weeks ago, No. 5 Wisconsin was an underdog to unranked Illinois.

You can't fault people for thinking USF might lose tonight... Consider how many Top 10 teams have lost...

and while Wisconsin was an actual underdog to Illinois (in Vegas) ... USF is a road favorite (+2.5 - +3) which says something about what the betting public thinks.

are we really an underdog?

I think what you're hearing is some national media types trying to make their big prediction that USF will get knocked off.  They don;t really think that but every week they have to come up with some more garbage

Just a sign that people still think that USF is a fluke.  Most people are still looking at our name and not what we have done on the field so far.

plenty of people think OSU and BC will lose as well. i think it's more that people want to see a bunch of 1-loss teams which would be a catalyst for changing the BCS.
