USF shocks the War Eagles at Auburn

And welcome to the AP top 25 rankings, gentlemen...

Yes it's an OT loss for Auburn but lets be frank and honest -- this was a nail-biter the whole night through (just look at the stat match-up results - the War Eagles never stood up and proved their worth). Yes, South Florida wasn't stellar but neither was Auburn and Brandon Cox was put in a hurt-locker by the Bull defense the majority of the night.

If the Bulls are indeed ranked by Monday morning, it will be their first Division 1-A ranking since the football program at USF was incepted 10 years ago.

No dice…

Polls are out – #26 in one, #27 in the other (behind Auburn)….

That was no shocker. It was a fine display of chaos and mediocrity on the part of both teams. And what the hell with both coaches passing on an opportunity for the win. Puzzies. If USF had gone for the touchdown and won the ranking may have cracked the 25. Guess the jury is still out on whether they belong with those other two Florida schools.
