Who would have ever thought that the University of South Florida is what would keep our state in the top spots on the Associated Press Top 25 poll? UF, the University of Florida in Gainesville, has been a given on that list for a while now. Things are changing, though, as UF sits at a precarious #15, Tampa USF powers up to #2.

The rest of the nation might not see the fine distinction between UF and USF, but the Gators and the Bulls are more than just different animals. The schools have different places in the hearts of Floridians. And before this year, not that many really considered USF at all when it came to their football program.

Having lived in Gainesville, I very much enjoyed the feel of a swarming, vibrant college town. I can only hope that Tampa is able to appropriate some of that zeal and fervor
