South Florida Bulls  

South Florida's rapid advancement to the Conferencia Big East and the associated gains in recruiting have been helped greatly by its facilities. South Florida began football play as a 1-AA independent in 1997, moved to 1-A in 2001, then to Conference USA in 2003, and now competes in the Conferencia Big East (as of 2005) with its Bowl Championship Series (BCS) tie-ins.
South Florida’s coach Jim Leavitt has enjoyed success in the first nine seasons, and the program is seen as a program on the rise, and a model for establishing a football program at other colleges.

The South Florida Bulls recently opened an $18 Million athletic facility on campus, and the South Florida football team plays its home games in Raymond James Stadium, also the home field of the National Football League's Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

South Florida, which was passed up for bowls in 2001 and 2002, was extended an invitation to play in the Meineke Car Care Bowl on December 31, 2005 against N.C. State from the ACC. The bowl game was only the 100th football game in school history, a feat unmatched in NCAA Division 1-A history.
On September 24, 2005, South Florida defeated ninth-ranked University of Louisville, for its first victory over a Big East rival as well as a Top Ten opponent. As a result, South Florida received it’s first-ever votes in the AP college football poll.
