Lawmakers in Tallahassee said they never intended the new law to be used against fans storming football fields after a huge victory.

Of course, the first real CFP rankings aren't out for a few weeks, but an AP "mock" bracket gives the Bulls the automatic bid for a non-power conference team.

No. 24 South Florida came back to tie the game at 21 with 2 seconds before halftime, then scored three quick TDs after the break, two off turnovers by the previously undefeated Mean Green.

The Bulls have won two straight since a lopsided loss at Miami and is back in the top 25 after a one-month absence.

Byrum Brown threw four touchdown passes and rushed for 162 yards in a game the Bulls' never trailed at Raymond James Stadium.

The Bulls' first-ever football coach will not attend the Oct. 2 event so other inductees can be honored "without distraction," according to new CEO of Athletics Rob Higgins.

The Bulls didn’t vanish completely, showing up among teams receiving votes. But their attention now turns to a home game against FCS team South Carolina State and their American Conference schedule a week later.

The Bulls will soon find out if the blowout loss drops them out of the rankings after the bigger and more talented Hurricanes overwhelmed them from the start.

Abdur-Rahim's words, "This ain't the same ol' South Florida, my brother," have become a rallying cry for the Bulls, who are ranked No. 18 going into Saturday's matchup against No. 5 Miami.

The Bulls have already defeated two ranked teams and face what should be a bigger challenge against the Hurricanes at Hard Rock Stadium. Both teams have QBs on hot streaks, and USF's defense has been strong.

The Oct. 11 game against Southern at Raymond James Stadium was switched to the Wildcats' home venue after reported issues with the promoter led to concerns about ensuring a “positive fan experience.”

Gadsden County Sheriff Morris Young said Pritchard was celebrating the Seminoles' win against Alabama with his family when he was hit by a bullet while in a car.
