East Division championship
Obviously, most assume Temple has it wrapped up, and rightly so. They probably do.
But if somehow USF can defeat Temple at home next week, USF has a legitimate shot to play in AAC championship game. If the following happens, USF is in the championship game: USF defeats Temple and UC at home, and UCF on the road, and Memphis defeats Temple. That's it. (I know, I know a long shot, but hey it's a shot).
Wouldn't that screw up the AAC this year.

I don't think it is that crazy if you do win the next 3 and Temple drops the game to Memphis you deserve to be in the champ game.

RE: East Division championship
Temple is in a nice set up, I don't think USF is at that point yet but I think we will give Temple a tough game.
We are still not good or consistent enough to guarantee we will win any of our last three games.
But next year this team should be among the best in the league

RE: East Division championship
and funny enough usf matchs up perfectly with temple..temple has struggled versus dual threats, and they have a defense to keep temples in check
temple has played 3 true dual threats the last 2 years (since temple defense has been good) reynold (navy) ward (houston) and davis (smu) and those are arguably the 3 worst defensive games theyve had since then.
even kiser at nd is more a pocket passer but the few times he took off he was getting crazy yards
but those qbs are a bit more refined at the moment that flpowers and their offenses are built to score more than usf (so add that into consideration)
IMO how that plays out is the xfactor in that game

RE: East Division championship
I am only counting on one more win. UCF is just simply terrible this year. They will fight us hard but I think we come out on top.
Temple is a good matchup for us and we usually have one upset in our pocket each year... we usually reserve it for cinci, but I actually dont like how we matchup with them.
I would go with a close loss to Temple, a 14-18 point loss to Cinci and we close out our year by taking out UCF on their field and go to a Florida bowl.... not certain if it will be Miami, St Pete or Cure bowl.... kinda hoping for St Pete. Cure bowl is in WAY too big of a venue and will look empty.... and nobody really wants to go to Miami.
