South Florida Bulls Stun Ranked Opponents, Eyeing College Football Playoff
10 Oct
Summary
- South Florida football had a monumental win against ranked Boise State and Florida teams
- Bulls set themselves up for a potential path to the College Football Playoff
- Biggest test this week as USF travels to take on undefeated North Texas

As of October 11th, 2025, the South Florida Bulls have made a strong start to the college football season, scoring upset wins over then-ranked opponents Boise State and Florida. With these monumental victories, the Bulls have set themselves up for a potential path to the College Football Playoff.
However, as a Group of 5 Conference team, USF cannot rely on those wins alone and will need to win the American Conference to secure a berth in the 12-team playoff field. One of the biggest tests on the Bulls' schedule is this week, as they travel to Denton, Texas, to take on the undefeated North Texas Mean Green.
The Bulls opened American Conference play with a 54-26 win over Charlotte on October 3rd, while the Mean Green are coming off a 36-22 victory over Army on September 27th. With both teams undefeated in conference play, this Friday night matchup promises to be a thrilling American Conference showdown.
