T-Thugs 1 USF is the only team in my ranking with 2 quality wins so far. They stomped Boise and went on the road to defeat Florida. They could lock themselves into my #1 spot if they beat Miami this week, but even with a loss they will probably stay high unless Florida or Boise proves to be a less quality win than I have assumed.

redrumsoxLoL 14 What else needs to be said about USF. Two ranked wins to start off the season. If this was solely a list rewarding resumes they would be #3 (behind the Buckeyes and Miami). If they beat Miami they are going to be Top 10 without a doubt and perhaps a Top 5 team in the land.

SufferingfOrLife 25 NEW Teams that dropped: #11 Arizona State, #15 Florida, #21 SMU, #25 Alabama New to the poll: #21 Utah, #22 Missouri, #23 Ole Miss, #25 USF Some teams I like that I didn't rank because they either have one loss or haven't been fully convinced: Baylor, SMU, Arizona State, Arizona, Minnesota, Washington, Texas A&M, and Auburn Next week, I'll redo this all because by then, I'll feel 1/4 of the way through the year, and I'll better understand the team, so I may make more radical changes. Kind of already did that for some of these, but watched more games this weekend and re-watched some of last week's games, so I understood the teams better. Also need to stop with my biases from what I thought of these teams preseason, like Michigan, I probably shouldn't rank I just like them and thought that losing to Oklahoma isn't as bad as losing to unranked teams.

LightningDusty 14 WHY?!?!?! Ahem... South Florida may just have the best win pair in the entire country right now. Shellacking of Boise State in week one will look good even if the Broncos take a large step back this year. Do I need to comment on the Florida victory?

WBLwiffleball 16
xX_GIGA_MAN_Xx 16 I WAS THE FIRST TO SAY THAT USF WAS A GOOD TEAM (I didn't have them ranked last week (I had them at 26)). In a good position to actually snag a first round bye in the playoff, somehow? Committee probably won't allow it and give them #5 below a 2 loss SEC team but its a nice scenario to think about.

Esb5415 17
Fortress0802 17 Massive upset over Boise and UF to start the year, USF needs to make good use of Alex Golesh before he's poached, and I believe they will. A decently close game, or even better, a win versus Miami could really let USF run away with the G5 bid.
