Coach: Willie Taggart
2015 record: 8-5
Projected 2016 record: 9-3
Circle the date: Sept. 24 vs. Florida State
Bowl trip: St. Petersburg
Why No. 42: Taggart has the team back on track and thinking about a big-time bowl. Other than the game against the Seminoles, the Bulls will have a chance to win every game. Somehow, the team avoids the other American power, Houston, during the regular season. Running back Marlon Mack is the South Florida star, helping the team with 2,400 rushing yards the past two years.
