Even after last season’s flirtation with football’s elite, it still seems incongruous to see USF begin a season with a national ranking. For the record, the Bulls are rated 21 by the USA Today college football coaches preseason poll.
More to the point, USF – still a relative newcomer on the national football scene – is ranked higher than the iconic likes of Penn State, Michigan, Alabama, Florida State, Miami, Nebraska and Notre Dame.
Go, Bulls.
