Tulsa: Senior night (or day, since we don’t know what time the kickoff will be). The game predicts a 35-17 Bulls victory, with the home faithful now planning to attend the AAC title game. All they have to do is beat Rice in the next game. Record: 8-3, 6-1.
At Rice: Wait, what? Another coding error inexplicably gives Rice a 38-17 win over the Bulls, costing them a chance to host the conference title game. Instead, the video game sees a matchup between North Texas and Memphis. Those two teams and USF finished 6-2 in conference play, but the Bulls lost to Memphis, and the game gave North Texas a better overall record. I want my money back. Oh wait, I didn’t buy the game. Record: 8-4, 6-2.
Military Bowl: The Bulls accept an invitation to travel to Annapolis, Md. for a December 28 game against North Carolina State. The Wolfpack might be a snooty power-conference team looking to feast on a Group of Five opponent, but the game says USF will prevail, 27-24. That’s back-to-back bowl wins over Atlantic Coast Conference opponents. Do you think that maybe USF belongs in that league? Final record: 9-4, 6-2.
