9. Houston (L)

This “battle” will be nothing more than straight-up forgettable. Houston has won the last five meetings with USF, with three of them (including their last two) being blowouts; all but one being decided by double digits. Cougars win by at least 20.

Record: 1-8, 0-5

10. Cincinnati (L)

Yes, it actually gets even worse for South Florida. Right after getting beaten down by Houston, they have to host that team who almost beat Georgia in the Peach Bowl last season.

The Bearcats have won three consecutive meetings with the Bulls. It’s rather safe to say that they will make it four in 2021.

Record: 1-9, 0-6

11. Tulane (L)

Tulane has not suffered a losing season since 2017, and they are set to host USF for a match that will surely end up with the Bulls being swept away by the mighty Green Wave.

Record: 1-10, 0-7

12. Central Florida (L)

The Knights may not be “national champions” anymore, but they will be at home for their game against the rival South Florida, and the bloodbath that they are bound to unleash will certainly make them feel like champs again.

Record: 1-11, 0-8

The USF Bulls will have an FCS win, and that will just about be all she wrote for them in 2021. But South Florida can look on the bright side for 2022, as there will clearly be nowhere to go but up.
