I say there are only a few elite \ powerhouse teams in the country and WVU isnt one of them because they haven't played for or won a national championship. I would consider Florida, LSU, USC, Ohio St and Oklahoma to be the most elite powerhouse programs right now. I think the term powerhouse is overused.

I guess that makes USF 0-1 on the season and Rutger 1-0. I guess Rutgers is BCS bound because they are the only team right now to have a win against and then #2 ranked BCS team. But I do agree Louisville is not a tradition powerhouse, however WVU has consistently been good since 1982. By saying WVU is not a powerhouse is like saying da U is was not a powerhouse team. If you really want tradition powerhouses USF did beat Army 28-0 in 2003 at West Point. Sorry did not realize that early season games are only scrimmages.

It was a complete fluke when they beat WVU 21-13 in Tampa in 2007 and WVU in Morganton 24-19 in 2006. It was a fluke when they beat Auburn 26-23 in Auburn in 2007. A fluke beating Louisville 45-14 in Tampa, in their 1st Big East game in 2005. Enough with their wins, I mean they have plenty of loses against powerhouse teams as well. Like losing to Louisville in 2006 31-8 (yes a blow out), or losing to Rutger 22-20 in Tampa in 2006 or their lose to Penn St at University Park 23-13, or their lose to Oklahoma in 2002 31-14 (Oklahoma btw when on to the Rose Bowl to beat #7 Washington St 34-14). Let's not forget other loses like da U in Miami 2005 27-7 or worse of all Alabama beating them 40-17 at Tuscaloosa in 2003. Sure they have their loses to respected programs, they also have their wins. I do believe powerhouses get blown out by other powerhouses too. After all ND has never been blown out or OSU ot USC or UF or FSU or Texas.... That is why they play the games and that is why there are only 6 undefeated teams left year, history does not win games, players do. @booberry I completely agree, USF stands no chance playing powerhouses.

There isn't one other team who may conceivably play in the title game that wouldn't stomp the Bulls. Don't get me wrong, I think it is very cute and adorable that USF hasn't lost yet, but they would get throttled by any number of teams out there: LSU, OSU, UF, Oregon, Oklahoma, USC, the list goes on.

No one would have any problem with Louisville or WVU running the table and going to the National Championship Game, so why shouldnt USF go if they win out? They will have beat both those teams and also won over Auburn at Auburn. (For comparison, Louisville lost to Kentucky, and WVU beat Mississippi State, which isnt that big of a deal) For you guys that think USF couldnt beat an average Va Tech team, you just simply havent been watching that much football this year and have no idea what the hell you are talking about. We are seeing a parody in college football that is getting to be on par with what we are seeing in the NFL. Its really a great time to be a fan as we do now have teams that are not well known knocking big names off their high horses. You have never heard of Grothe? Are you not paying attention or just that dumb? Doesnt your mom's basement have cable so that you can watch Sportscenter or Gameday? And say what you want about the BCS, but it is 10 times better than the old system. For instance: If the old bowl system was in place, this is probably what we would have seen USC vs. OSU in the Rose Bowl Florida vs. Wake Forest/Louisville in the Sugar Bowl Oklahoma vs. Michigan in the Cotton Bowl no BSU knocking off Oklahoma, no USC pounding Michigan, no Florida winning (deservedly) the National Championship. Just 3 teams at the end of the season all claiming a share of the title (much like USC did the year LSU won the BCS title. This just in Trojan fan - If you want to bitch about not being National Champions every year, tell your team to take care of business. Just saying you should have a share of the title doesnt make it true) One other thing the BCS accomplished last year was to prove once again that the Big Pretend 10 is the most over rated conference in the Nation. Although why we have to be reminded of this every year, I am not quite sure. Shaun, you couldnt be anymore offbase.

After going to the UCF and West Virgina games I think half of of the USF female student population are either strippers, or work at hooters. The common female attire is very short jean short cutoffs, a USF tank top that maximizes boobage, and maybe a cowgirl hat. While most of the West Virginia women are never any taller than 5'2", over weight, and really need a hair cut. The number breast implants at the USF games are crazy.

Those people are greedy!! They are part of people who like to take your money out and screwed up the economy in america. That's sad! Being bias is not a ethic moral! That's sad! USF knows there's lot games left to go.. USF knows what people are. The only thing USF care about is winning a game at a time. If they don’t let USF play at the title game because of money..
