According to the last AP poll, 35 teams received votes. Here is how they match up in the bowl games (Cincy was included even though they received no votes).

TCU #25 vs. N. Illinois
Oregon vs. BYU #19
ECU vs. USF #32
Arizona St. vs. Hawaii #28
Florida St. vs. UCLA #35
California #20 vs. Texas A&M #21
Kansas St. vs. Rutgers #16
Purdue vs. Maryland #31
Missouri vs. Oregon St. #24
Houston #29 vs. South Carolina #34
Texas #18 vs. Iowa
Boston College #23 vs. Navy #33
Va. Tech #14 vs. Georgia #26
Ga. Tech #27 vs. WVU #13
Nebraska #22 vs. Auburn
Penn St. #30 vs. Tennessee #17
Arkansas #12 vs. Wisconsin #6
W. Michigan vs. Cincinnati
Michigan #3 vs. USC #8
Oklahoma #7 vs. Boise St. #9
Wake Forest #15 vs. The Ville #5
Notre Shame #11 vs. LSU #4
Ohio St. #1 vs. Florida #2

Looking at who plays who...If every Big East team wins their bowl, how much do you think they will rise in the polls?
Louisville should rise one spot to #4
WVU should rise 3 spots to #10
Rutgers should rise 3 spots to #13
South Florida should rise 8 spots to # 24
Cincy should receive votes
That looks good for BEast for starting out next year.

Hate to say it, but I don't think USF is in for THAT big a jump. A lot of the teams ahead of them play each other. Plus, they never seem to get respect in the polls.

Will they deserve top 25? Yes.

That's why I see a big jump because a lot of the teams play each other....somebody has to loose and open the opportunity for SF to move up.
