USF Bulls Remain AAC Contenders Despite Loss to Miami
4 Oct
Summary
- USF Bulls upset Boise State and Florida earlier this season
- Bulls lost to No. 3 Miami but bounced back with 51-point win
- USF is co-favorite to win AAC, +330 to make College Football Playoff
As of October 4th, 2025, the USF Bulls have established themselves as a top contender in the American Athletic Conference (AAC) and the Group of 5 landscape. The team's fairytale start to the season was briefly interrupted by a loss to No. 3 Miami, but they have since bounced back with a dominant 51-point victory against South Carolina State.
Earlier this season, the Bulls made waves by upsetting Boise State in Week 1 and handing Florida a crippling loss in Week 2, effectively ending the Gators' season. While they couldn't pull off another stunner against Miami, the Bulls have shown they can punch up against some of the best programs in the country.
Now, USF is essentially a co-favorite to win the AAC, along with Tulane and Memphis. The team is also +330 to make the College Football Playoff, indicating their potential to be a force in the national landscape. As they open their conference schedule as 27.5-point favorites over Charlotte on Friday night, the Bulls are poised to continue their impressive run and solidify their status as a top Group of 5 contender.
