USF one of three with two wins vs. ranked
As we wait to see where USF is ranked in new polls released Sunday afternoon, it's worth noting that the Bulls are one of only three teams in the country with two wins against teams that were ranked in the AP top 25 when the game was played.
USF beat then-No. 17 Auburn and then-No. 5 West Virginia; California beat then-No. 15 Tennessee and then-No. 11 Oregon; LSU beat then-No. 9 Virginia Tech and then-No. 12 South Carolina.
There have been 28 games this season where a ranked team has lost; of those, 18 came against unranked opponents. In the first four weeks of the season, one top-10 team lost each week, but this weekend, five teams ranked in the top 10, including four to unranked opponents.
Times sportswriter Greg Auman, who covers USF, will post news and thoughts on the Bulletin and we invite your participation in the comments area.
Greg, your late man, USF is ranked 9th in the Coaches poll!!

How do the gators only drop 7 spots after losing to an unranked opponent at home.
If anyone has any beef about the rankings it really should be West Virginia. They lose on the road tot he *#18 team in the country and Florida losses at home to Auburn and West VA falls to 12.
stupid
