Incredible. I would have thought 11th or 12th. But according to the ESPN – NCAA College Football Polls, College Football Rankings, NCAA Football Poll, USF is ranked sixth in the AP poll – ahead of the Gators, and 9th in the USA Today coaches poll.
Tribune Bulls beat writer Brett McMurphy says Jeff Sagarin has the Bulls ranked as the number 3 team in the country.

I’m all about the Bulls, but c’mon. The Big East is overranked as a conference anyway, and when all these overranked teams start playing each other, it further inflates the rankings of the winning teams. The Bulls are certainly top 25 material, but 3rd is a joke. The only really good team they’ve played is Auburn.

I agree with Dave here… The sentiment among college football afficianados is that the Big East is the Big Easy with over-ranked teams. There is admiration for USF but again — #3? Top 10? No, not yet.
West Virginia was a joke game – there was so much hype about the Mountaineers coming into the game and what happened right off the bat? They tried some razzle-dazzle to hit the Bulls and the Bulls didn’t buy it.
Beating Auburn at Auburn is an accomplishment. Sending UWV back to earth is righteous. But #3/6/9 in the nation for those accomplishments? That’s a little too high.

I’m an alumni for USF so of course I’m all about the BULLS! Football is just a game.. some one is going to win and someone is going to lose. I’m proud of my team for what they are accomplishing and what we are showing everyone else! Who cares about rankings, we are just trying to prove ourselves.. especially to those who never thought twice about USF.. now I see you are all paying attention.. and scared that we may actually beat your team.. ha-ha if you think our ranking is overrated.. then don’t pay attention!
